The Academic Staff Union of Universities has vowed not to enter into any renegotiation with the Federal Government over their disagreements.

ASUU’s statement was fuelled by the reported donation of $1 million by President Muhammadu Buhari to Afghanistan, at a time the university lecturers are on strike.

The lecturers’ union who condemned the president’s donation to the Arab country, which was meant to cater to the needs of Afghan people, including women and children, has accused the federal government of being unwilling to pay the outstanding funds.
