ASUU agrees to participate in elections

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has agreed to
participate in the 2019 general election.

ASUU had earlier expressed reservations over the availabilty of
students and lecturers for the elections as a result of its ongoing
strike.

Professor Mahmood Yakubu, the INEC Chairman, had also earlier
announced the commission’s decision to meet ASUU “to discuss the
ongoing strike by the union but only in relation to our
preparations for the general election”.

“We are concerned that the bulk of critical election-duty staff
are drawn from the universities. We are determined to ensure that
processes are not affected by the Union’s industrial action. ASUU
is a critical partner to the Commission in delivering credible
elections. We look forward to the meeting and we are confident of a
positive outcome,” Yakubu said.

However, the decision was announced on Friday, after the meeting
between INEC and ASUU.

A tweet by INEC read: “Happening Now: ASUU agrees to participate
in 2019 General Elections”.
