The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has reacted to the alleged plan by some public institutions to pull out of the ongoing strike.
Some public universities are on the verge of boycotting the over 8 weeks’ strike, and have threatened to return their students to classrooms.
But speaking in an interview with journalists in Lagos, the National President of the Union, Prof. Biotin Ogunyemi, accused the Federal Government of making moves to break its ranks.
According to him, “We know that there are some moves by government agents at federal and state levels to break our ranks.
“But our members are getting back to us and to a large extent now, our members are resolute.
“Yes, there are some overzealous chancellors and administrators in one or two universities who are trying to brake these ranks.
“However, on the scale of balance, they are not having their ways.
“Our union shall handle that.”

Banks will continue to mop up the notes after they cease to be legal tender on February 10 without a time limit. The CBN Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, was directed to submit a weekly report on releases of the new notes to commercial banks so that the House could verify claims by the CEOs of the banks that the apex bank had not been releasing enough cash to them. The CBN was also directed to restore over-the-counter transactions by the banks and increase Automated Teller Machine (ATM) cash withdrawal limits in order to fast-track the circulation of the new no
