UMUAHIA MAIN MARKET TO BE DEMOLISHED TODAY.

Sunday, the 20^th day of October 2013, was the last day the main market of Umuahia served the residents of the city as well as its visitors.

The traders of Umuahia Main Market were advised to move into the new Ultra-modern Market Ubani, which is about 5 kilometers from the old one.

 

Although traders have packed into this new market, some of them prefer going the opposite direction --- 8 kilometers away from Umuahia, to the market in Onuimo.

ASUU, FG 2009 AGREEMENT --- A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT.

Before I got admission into higher institution, I had been hearing of ASUU strike but never actually experienced it until I entered into the university. During my first year in school (in 2009) I had my first taste of ASUU industrial action --- a warning strike and then a full-blown strike that lasted for about three months. When it was called off and we resumed school; I had to trace my room because I couldn't remember my room number. I also noticed that some of my colleagues had forgotten their matriculation numbers.

Since then, it has been “one year, one ASUU strike” in our academic calendar. And now that I’m in my final year, ASUU unfailingly embarked on the annual fist fight with the FG. We heard that they had an agreement in 2009 before that year’s strike was called off. Nevertheless, the reason for this year’s ASUU strike was also the reason for that 2009 strike and had been the same reason for the series of ASUU strikes since that year. ASUU accuses the Federal Government of not implementing the agreement they had in 2009.

Just recently, I saw a post by +Nigerian News Portal  Portal that allegedly contains that same ASUU, FG 2009 Agreement.
