Dr John Edor, the Chairman of Academic Staff Union
of Universities (ASUU), University of Calabar (UniCal) branch, has debunked
rumours that the union has called off its eight months old strike.
Edor debunked the rumour in a telephone interview
with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Calabar on Thursday.
He was reacting to a statement on Twitter
purportedly credited to the union, calling off the strike.
“As I talk to you now, ASUU does not have a Twitter
account, so I wonder where that statement came from. As far as I am concerned,
it is fake news, ” he said.
The chairman, however, said that a meeting between
ASUU and the Federal Government on the lingering strike may hold on Friday.
The union has been on an indefinite strike since
April 4 and has held meetings many times with the Federal Government to resolve
the impasse without success. (NAN).
