Lecturers of the University of Benin (UNIBEN) on Tuesday complied with the Federal Government's directive to resume work.

Some of the lecturers had reportedly signed the resumption register stationed at the Deans’ Offices at the various faculties on the university campus in Benin.

Efforts to speak with the executives of the UNIBEN chapter of ASUU proved abortive, as members of the union were holding a meeting as at the time of filing this report.

However, a lecturer in the university, who preferred anonymity said the strike was mismanaged by the national ASUU leadership.

"We are not against ASUU or what it is fighting for, but we are against the methodology as well as the adamant and childish approach of the leadership at this point in time.

“Agreement can be written or oral, and President Goodluck Jonathan has assured us that the agreement with ASUU would be implemented.

“I think the sensible thing to do is to await the president's directive to implement it; and if he does not do it, we then call up another strike.

“Many of us are disappointed with the union leadership's attempt to distort what has been agreed upon by all members across the country.

“We believe in the Federal Government, we believe in what the highest authority in the country has said and we have decided to resume work.
 
WWAD? What will ASUU Do? Lecturers are defying their orders right and left, VCs don't respect 'em anymore, students hold 'em in contempt and the public jx don't care.
