Jonathan Says ASUU Strike No Longer a Trade Dispute Article | November 30, 2013 - 9:12pm | By kelvinkay The strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), since July 1st is no longer a trade dispute but subversive action, President Goodluck Jonathan has said. The President was speaking in reaction to a plea by the former governor of the state, Dipreye Alamieyesigha, for an extension of the December 4th deadline given to ASUU to call off the strike action or have their offices declared vacant. The President stated this at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) state caucus meeting at the Yenegoa Government House, which presided over by the State party Chairman, Col Samuel Inokoba (rtd). Alamieyesigha noted that the same date given the union was the date fixed for the burial of late Professor Festus Iyayi. Iyayi died in an accident in Kogi State on November 1
