photoASUU also advised members not to sign the attendance registers in their institutions and lambasted the government for lack of consistency in its statements on  the ongoing strike.The union warned that academic activities would not commence until the Federal Government perfected the resolutions reached with the union.
Dr Segun Ajiboye, Chairman of University of Ibadan chapter, said “Don’t risk the lives of your children, keep them at home because ASUU will not teach. Soldiers and the police deployed by the Federal Government will not teach.
"Wike can come and teach in the universities. It is a huge joke to sack lecturers. Our strike must not be in vain. Our students must see the results.
“It is funny. We thought we are in a democracy. I assure Nigerians that we know what the law says about the strike. Our job is statue backed. We are not threatened. We do not trust the government. The record of the government is clear. This government is dishonouring agreements. Our members are resolved to pursue this to a logical conclusion.”
The union also described as laughable the President Goodluck Jonathan's denial of the ultimatum issued to them. The union vowed to ensure the rewards of the strike were seen, saying if they could withstand the Babaginda government then the Goodluck Jonathan government was no match for them.
He stated, “Dear members, stay calm and remain resolute. There is nothing wrong in asking government to do what it says it will do immediately. ASUU is not making any new demands as the supervising minister is propagating. Government is only repeating a ‘one act play’ scripted by the IBB dictatorship in early 90s. It didn’t work then, and, it won’t work now. All branches are intact. We cannot be intimidated," he said.

  The Premier League is flush with cash thanks to TV deals but, as Arsene Wenger and Antonio Conte have pointed out, its teams are paying huge sums of money for average players. In May 2014, Antonio Conte dismissed Juventus' chances of replicating its domestic success in continental competition, claiming that the Italian champions were not on the same financial footing as Europe's elite. "You cannot go to a 100 euro restaurant with just 10 euros in your pocket," he sniped. Less than two months later, he parted company with the Old Lady by "mutual consent," having been left frustrated by his employers' transfer strategy. Two years on, Conte is now back in the club game after a successful spell in charge of Italy and is working for a team bankrolled by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich. But the former Bianconeri boss has quickly discovered that more money sometimes means more problems. Conte has been backed in the transfer market, w
