The Academic Staff Union of Universities says it will not back down in its efforts to sanitise the university system in the country, especially in the area of the welfare of its members.

The National President of the union, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Lagos.

According to him, no meaningful development will be achieved if government fails to put issues concerning education on the front burner for global reckoning and competitiveness.
