The Chairman Of The Cross River State Chapter Of The Union, Monday Ogbodum, Made The Appeal On Tuesday In An Interview With News Men In Calabar, The State Capital.
Ogbodum Said Asuu Had “Clearly” Made Their Points Known To The World With The Prolonged Strike And Advised The Government Not To Always Allow Issues To Degenerate To Strikes Before Taking Necessary Actions.
The Labour Leader Further Added That The Government Should Always Put A Human Face To Its Action Or Inaction In Dealing With Labour Unions To Avoid Prolonged Industrial Action In The Country.
The Tuc Chairman Said It Would Be Difficult To Regain The Lost Ground In Nigeria’s Tertiary Education System Because Of The Industrial Action By The University Lecturers In The Last Two Years.
