In a bid to prevent future strike actions by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, a body comprising of the University parents Forum Association has formed a group known as Coalition of Parents, Professionals and all well-meaning Nigerians (CPOSONU)
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reached out to the convener of the forum, Jerry Okundaye and he said the objective is to set up a forum where everyone involved can come together to discuss ways that the Nigerian public Universities can move forward, tackle its problems, fix challenges by other means rather than resorting to embarking on strike actions.
“The Uni Parents Forum is an organization set up to mitigate the incessant disagreement between Government and ASUU, avert strike actions in our universities and other institutions of learning, and above all to chart a new course for the entire Nigerian Educational system
”The immediate objective of CPOSONU is to form a Coalition of Parents, Professionals and all well meaning Nigerians to avert the looming strike action that may arise as a result of the current disagreement between Government and ASUU over the payment of salary. This will be too much to swallow after 8 months of strike action in our universities.
