Issah Zubairu Achara

Abstract


This paper shall look into a Semitic language that developed out of the language of the Arabians of the time of prophet Muhammed (SAW) now spoken in countries of the Middle East and North Africa. The standard language as established by the Holy Quran. The alphabetical script used for writing of Arabic probably since about the fourth century Ad and adopted with modifications by Persian, Urdu and many other language. A distinguishing feature of this script is the fact that etymologically short vowels are not normally represented as a successor to the Nigerian Association of University Teachers that was founded in 1965, ASSU was formed in 1978 to cater for the interest of all academic staff in federal and state universities in Nigeria. Although ASUU consist of many universities, there are several other universities that are not under ASSU as body. The union was active in struggle against the military regime during the 1980s. In 1988 the union organized a National strike to obtain fair wages and university autonomy. As a result, the ASUU was proscribed on 7th August, 1988 and all its property seized. It was allowed to resume in 1990, but after another strike was again banned on 23rd August, 1992.
