The union of University lecturers under the auspices of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) have reiterated their earlier claims that no amount of threats which had been coming from the Committee of Pro-chancellors of State Owned Universities in Nigeria (COPSON) can be able to break its ranks.
ASUU had also made this disclosure on Thursday.

It had also been gathered that COPSON had earlier noted that the government should do its best to make sure that they enforce no work no pay.
They had also made it clear that the centrally agreed negotiations will not be binding on them to obey.
ASUU has, however in their reply explained that no amount of threats from COPSON can discourage the union from achieving its aims and they had also advised the Committee of Pro-chancellors of State Owned Universities in Nigeria to stop playing to the gallery.
The union in a statement signed by the Convener, ASUU Rapid Response, Professor Ade Adejumo entitled “COPSON: Stoking the Blaze of Discord” stated that no amount of threats will make the union stop fighting for quality education and welfare of its members.
Adejumo maintained that ASUU is one.
He added that a thousand communiques and threats from COPSON cannot break its ranks.
“No amount of threats will make the union stop fighting for quality education and welfare of her members.
“ASUU is one, a thousand communiques and threats from COPSON cannot break our ranks and iron resolve to see this struggle and any other one in the future to its successful end.
“ASUU asked the pro-chancellors to provide evidences where they have improved the salaries and welfare of their school.
“Pro-chancellors of state Universities are always eager to run to Abuja to collect money from TETFUND which was brought into existence by ASUU.”
