AN UPDATE ON ONGOING ASUU
NEGOTIATIONS FOLLOWING TWO
RECENT
MEETINGS WITH VICE-PRESIDENT
NAMADI
SAMBO
From the Office of the Vice-
Chancellor
--------------- ---------------
---------------
--------------- ------------
Following two meetings (on
Thursday 19th
Sept 2013 and Friday 11th Oct
2013) of
representatives of the AVCNU
(Association
of Vice-Chancellor s of Nigerian
Universities,
led by CVC Chairman, Prof. Hamisu
of
ATBU) and ASUU Representatives
(led by
its President, Dr. N. Fagge) with
the Vice-
President of the Federal Republic
of
Nigeria, Arc. N. Sambo, Minister of
Education Barr. N. Wike and
others, all
Vice-Chancellor s have been
urged to
inform and enlighten our
academic and
other staff on the following
developments
so that we can ensure a return to
normalcy
in our universities within the
shortest
possible time
1. Earned Allowances: The N30
billion
already released will now be
increased to
N40 billion, and should be
regarded only as
first installment, and not a once-
and-for-al l
payment. Government will top it
up with
further releases once universities
are
through with the disbursement of
this new
figure of N40 million, so Vice-
Chancellor s
are urged to expedite this
disbursement
within the shortest possible time
using
guiding templates that have been
sent by
the CVC.
2. NEEDS Assessment Capital
Money:
Government was cognizant and
mindful of
the ability of Universities to
effectively/
efficiently utilize the N100 billion
fund
immediately, hence that figure.
However,
in addition to this N100 billion
dedicated
and already made available for
2013, N200
billion (increased from N150
billion
previously agreed) will now be
earmarked
in the 2014 Budget as well as
each of the
following three-four years until
the
Universities are brought to world-
class
standard.
3. Project Prioritization:
Universities will
now be allowed to determine
their
priorities and not be “rail-roaded”
into
implementing a pre-determined
set of
projects with respect to the NEEDS
assessment. Decisions are not to
be
centralized.
4. TETFund Intervention:
Government
assured that the operations of the
TETFund
will not be impaired, and that the
regular
TETFund intervention
disbursement to
Universities will continue,
unaffected. So
the NEEDS assessment capital
outlays are
in addition to regular TETFund
intervention.
5. Project Monitoring: A new
Implementation Monitoring
Committee
(IMC) for the NEEDS Assessment
intervention for universities has
been set
up to take over from the Suswan
Committee. The new one is under
the
Federal Ministry of Education and
chaired
by the Honorable Minister of
Education. In
addition, to build confidence and
ensure
faithful implementation and
prevent any
relapse as before, the Vice
President will
meet quarterly with the IMC to
monitor
progress.
6. Blueprint: ASUU was mandated
to
submit a blue print for revitalizing
the
Universities to the Vice President.
7. Official Agreement Document: A
signed
document would be issued very
soon to
itemize the full issues on which
this
present consensus outlined here,
brokered
by AVCNU, has been reached.
8. An Appeal to Call Off Strike: The
Vice-
President Sambo appealed to
ASUU to call
off the strike and apologized for
the "take-
it-or-leave-it" comments credited
to the
Hon Minister of Finance. All other
parties
present at the meetings also
prevailed on
the ASUU leadership to consult
objectively
with its members to get them to
agree
with what is now on the table
and to call
off the strike as soon as possible
after the
Sallah break of Tuesday/
Wednesday
October 15/16 2013.
9. ASUU President Responds: At
both
meetings, the President of ASUU
thanked
the VP for taking over
negotiations and
promised to consult with his
ASUU
Constituency.
We keep our fingers firmly
crossed, as we
await both the official consensus
agreement document and full
ASUU
reaction. Statesmanship on all
sides is
called for at this point in time...hmmm I hope dis is a sign of d end o..

Dat means strike will b calld of in 2014.

Like some people will say: end time tinz. This one is end time lies. They will go to hell

GOOD NEWS IF FACTUAL BECAUSE SAMARA REPORTER GOES ON WITH .....TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.......NEWS

Emmyanuel: the result of this strike has done more harm than good none the less who knows the world might just end sooner or later with or without ASUU strike is of no significance my prayer for us all is for heaven to be our eternal home in Jesus name amen. God bless ASUU.. God bless the govt.. And God bless us all, His intervention superceeds all dats what we need the world needs.. SALVATION.. For all men are liars and only God is true.

This is vividly telling us that there's going to be another strike come 2014

Lollypee: Towards ending the ongoing ASUU strike, the Federal Government has committed to spending N200 billion in the 2014 budget on the universities as well as on each of the next three-four years until the universities are brought to world-class standard. This is in addition to the N100 billion dedicated and already made available for 2013.

The government has also increased to N40 billion as a first installment, funds for the payment of earned allowances to the striking lecturers, an improvement from the N30 billion previously released.

This information is contained in an internal Federal University of Otuoke statement by Professor Bolaji Aluko, its Vice-Chancellor, seen on Wednesday night by SaharaReporters.

On the earned allowances, he explained, “Government will top it up with further releases once universities are through with the disbursement of this new figure of N40 million, so Vice-Chancellors are urged to expedite this disbursement within the shortest possible time using guiding templates that have been sent by the CVC,” the circular said.

Professor Aluko said the development followed meetings on September 19 and Oct 11 of representatives of the Association of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities, led by CVC Chairman, Prof. Hamisu of ATBU and ASUU Representatives led by its President, Dr. N. Fagge with the Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Arc. Namadi. Sambo, Minister of Education Barr. N. Wike and others.

Of great interest to stakeholders, Vice-President Sambo, appealing to ASUU to call off the strike, apologized for the "take-it-or-leave-it" comments credited to the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala at the onset of the strike. The Minister did not seem to have been involved in either meeting, perhaps as the government’s way of soothing the feelings of the university teachers.

Other points of agreement at the meetings include the following:

Project Prioritization: Universities will now be allowed to determine their priorities and not be “rail-roaded” into implementing a pre-determined set of projects with respect to the NEEDS assessment. Decisions are not to be centralized.
TETFund Intervention: Government assured that the operations of the TETFund will not be impaired, and that the regular TETFund intervention disbursement to Universities will continue, unaffected. So the NEEDS assessment capital outlays are in addition to regular TETFund intervention.

In addition, to build confidence and ensure faithful implementation and prevent any relapse as before, the Vice President will meet quarterly with the IMC to monitor progress.

Prof. Aluko further stated that a signed document will soon be issued to itemize the full issues on which the consensus he had outlined here, as brokered by AVCNU, was reached.

enohbong: Will this stoP 9jA Undergraduates from garrilizing?........Juz curious.....

Knowing fully that Nigerians are higly gullible, Gej will play this game on their screwed heads.

Bossforeva: Dat means strike will b calld of in 2014.

probably

Is anyone noticing that since wike took over as supervising minister,there have being a lot of organized protests against ASUU,
1,market women in abuja
2,youths in front of UNILAG gate.

This is the same people Wike was using to destabilize Rivers state.
But wike should know that ASUU was a torn in the flesh of the various military government,they are more experience than him,all the rallies and protest won't work,honor the agreement.

ASUU don collect their own shear. As usaul!

handebayor: Though am hopeful they call it off but why is it only sahara reporters that published such news

Me i also saw it in one of za sites @myschool.com.ng and ASUU said dat on calling off the strike by tuesday was false that we should wait till friday for us to get what they(ASUU) conclude on the matter.
