President Goodluck Jonathan has
directed the Federal Ministry of
Education to commence full
implementation of the demands
made by the Academic Staff
Union of Universities (ASUU) in
order to resolve the indefinite
strike embarked upon by the
union.
Jonathan gave the directive while
on a state visit to Nasarawa State,
to commission the ultra-modern
TA’AL Model Primary School,
constructed by the Governor
Tanko Al-Makura administration
to provide qualitative,
competitive and free education
for the less privileged.
Represented by Vice President
Mohammed Namadi Sambo, the
president, who was not
categorical with figures, said
billions of naira have been
approved and Education Minister,
Ruquayyatu Rufai, has been
directed to commence
implementation as soon as
possible.
While pledging the continued
support of the Federal
Government to Nasarawa State
through the Universal Basic
Education Commission (UBEC),
Jonathan also promised to
provide free textbooks and
science laboratory equipment to
TA’AL model school and no fewer
than 30 others, which are to be
constructed in all the local
government areas of the state.
