All branches of Academic Staff
Union of Universities, ASUU, will hold their congresses today to brief members
on President Goodluck Jonathan’s offer. Nigeria public universities have been
closed down over four months as a result of the Federal Government’s inability
to implement the agreement it entered into in 2009 with lecturers. The outcome
of today’s meeting of the various branches would be communicated to the
national leadership of the union, which will in turn convene an emergency
National Executive Council meeting between Wednesday and Thursday this week to
consider the positions of various branches .The Federal Government had
initially promised to inject the sum of N1.1 trillion into public universities
in the next five years. If they agree to Government’s offer, the strike would
most likely be called off. Do you think ASUU would budge?
