FG to ASUU: We can’t meet your demands

Posted by: JIDE ORINTUNSIN in News Update 6 mins ago

Hopes of quick resolution of the present face-off between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities were dashed on Tuesday as the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said the government has no resources to meet the union demands.



Foreclosing possible truce to the five-week old industrial action that has paralysed academic activities in the nation’s ivory towers, Okonjo-Iwela said the striking university lecturers were asking for #92 billion in extra allowances, maintaining that government lack means of picking the bill.

Speaking in Minna at the annual National Council on Finance and Economic Development meeting, the minister said that ASUU demand was coming at a time government was making efforts at reducing the structure of public expenditures.

The theme of the meeting is: “Restructuring Nigeria’s Finances.”

She said, “At present ASUU wants the government to pay N92 billion in extra allowances when resources are not there and when we are working to integrate past increases in pensions. We need to make choices in this country as we are getting to the stage where recurrent expenditures take the bulk of our resources and people get paid but can do no work.”

She declared that if the demands of the university lecturers are met and “we continue to pay them salaries and allowances we will not be able to provide infrastructure in the universities.”

The minister argued that when she assumed office “the share of recurrent expenditure in our total budgets had increased astronomically. “

“In fact recurrent expenditures accounted for about 77.2 per cent of the federal budget and we are now working to re-balance this ratio,” the minister added.

What is the point meeting every week without a solution? Its like both ASUU and FG are co-conspirators.

[quote When wil these meetings come to an end with fruitful results? i am tired of staying at home.
author=kilmix]THE Federal Government will engage the leadership of
Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in a crucial talks today, in
a move to end the ongoing strike by the union.
Minister of Education, Professor Ruqa’yyatu Ahmed Rufa’i, made this
known in Abuja, on Monday, saying reasonable progress had been made in
the ongoing efforts to get the lecturers back to classroom.
She noted that a presidential intervention of N100 billion had been
released to the implementation committee of the Needs Assessment Report,
which has the Benue State governor, Gabriel Suswam, as chairman.
Professor Rufa’i, who spoke while declaring open the mid-term review of
the four-year strategy plan for the development of the education sector,
said this was to address some of the identifiable challenges in the
nation’s university system.
She said it was as a result of the resolve to address all challenges
facing the sector that assessments of each area of the education sector
were carried out.
“We have done this for the federal unity schools and it is helping in
their transformation. The recent one carried out for all public
universities has led to a presidential intervention to ensure that
challenges identified are given due attention.
“As a result, N100 billion has been committed to this and the president
has inaugurated an implementation committee chaired by Governor Suswam,”
she said.
The minister said the implementation of the four-year strategic plan
(2011-2015) was on course, stressing that credible progress had been
made in the six focal areas as outlined in the plan.
She reaffirmed the commitment to move the sector ahead, saying “we shall
continue to dig deep and identify further challenges and address them.”
Professor Rufa’i, therefore, appealed to all stakeholders to continue to
show understanding, support and partnership, noting that “our actions
today will define where we are tomorrow.”
She added that government would continue to dialogue with ASUU in order
to end the ongoing strike that had crippled academic activities in
government’s universities in Nigeria.
