Call-08039400061 Abuja-President Goodluck Jonathan literally disowned the seven-day ultimatum to striking university lecturers to return to work, yesterday, saying the Committee of Vice Chancellors (CVC) issued the deadline. According to him, the supervising minister of education, Mr. Nyeson Wike, only made the ultimatum public. The ultimatum, which began counting last Thursday, ends on Wednesday. Jonathan, also, yesterday, described the ASUU prolonged strike as subversive. The industrial action, which started on July 1, enters the sixth month today. “We didn’t give them ultimatum. It was the committee of Vice Chancellors that took that decision. The supervising minister of education only passed on the decision. What ASUU is doing is no longer trade dispute but subversive action”, the president said. Saying, however, that government will consult on the deadline to ASUU members, he said, “So that we will not be perceived to be insensitive, we will consult on the deadline”. Jonathan spoke, yesterday, while responding to an appeal by a former governor of Bayelsa State, Chief DSP Alamieyeseigha, that government should reconsider its ultimatum to the ASUU members to return to work or be sacked.
