The Federal University, Dutsin-Ma branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities has called for a total and indefinite strike by union members nationwide if the Federal Government continues to ignore the union’s demands.

The ASUU members at the institution also called on the FG to “return to the new draft agreement of 2009 FGN /ASUU Renegotiation Committee report as a demonstration of good faith.”

The ASUU members arrived at the resolution after their congress which was held at the institution’s take-off campus in Dutsin-ma on Monday.

A copy of the resolutions arrived at during the congress was made available to The PUNCH on Tuesday. It was signed by the union’s branch Chairperson, Jibrin Shagari and the Secretary, Mzungu Ignatius.
