Ogunyemi said the union is concerned about the plight of students and not out to destroy the education system.
The ASUU President, however, said if the government failed to fulfil its part of the agreement, the union would resume its suspended strike “as deemed fit”.
His words: “As far as our members are concerned, we are activating our Memorandum of Action by engaging the federal government to keep to their promises,” he said.
“Some of the agreements are already coming up, but some are still pending with respect to our Memorandum of Action and we will continue to do that and there is no continuation of any strike action for now.
“We are concerned about the plight of our students and we have gone back to intensify efforts to cover lost grounds.
“Our members have sacrificed their annual leave and those who are supposed to go on sabbatical, many of them have put on hold their sabbatical leave. This is to show our students and their parents and indeed all Nigerians that we are not out to destroy the system.
“Once we make a demand from government and government responds positively, we will not go any extra mile to put down the system, our interest is to build the system and we have always done that,” Ogunyemi added.
