The strike, they say, has done more harm than good. Speaking on behalf of the group, Abayomi Ogunnowo opined that the members of the union are also tired of the strike.

"The truth is that, nationwide, ASUU members are tired of this strike except if we'll be fooling ourselves. It takes courage, it takes boldness, it takes the need for national emancipation for somebody to come out and say the truth."

His colleague, Bob Ushie however took his time to warn the union on the consequences of further prolonging the strike.

He said, " I will really advise ASUU to really bow now that the ovation is high. For how long do you continue to kill an ant with a sledgehammer? You will not only destroy the ground, you are equally going to destroy the hammer."

Instead of sitting idle and lamenting the situation, the young academicians wish to explore, what they say are the multiple facets of the problems related to the ASUU strike and suggest concrete strategies towards solving the problems. They went on to point out some of the major determinants of the issue.

According to Mr. Abayomi, "Can the government afford the demand of ASUU? That should be the starting point! If they cannot, can this not be re-negotiated. . . . . .or achieved in phases? No one or group should hold the country to ransom! Many ASUU members are teaching in private universities and they will be paid their salaries even for the period they are on strike!"

The young academicians and researchers ended their sitting by asking the Federal Government and ASUU to place the interests of the millions of students wasting at home by coming together to resolve their differences so that schools can be re-opened.
