Jonathan to meet ASUU November 4
*Universities may re-open next week
REPORT BY SCAN NEWS
PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN
Scan-News can authoritatively reveal that in
a last ditch effort to resolve the ASUU strike,
President Goodluck Jonathan will on
Monday, November 4, meet with the
leadership of ASUU at the Presidential Villa.
This was part of the resolutions of the
meeting between the ASUU leadership, Vice
President Namadi Sambo and the
Supervising Minister of Education on
Tuesday as was first reported by this
medium.
An official of the Vice President’s office who
pleaded anonymity told Scan News that all
hands are now on deck to ensure that the
universities resume next week.
The official stated that the Vice President
and the Supervising Minister of Education
have made head-way in resolving the strike,
but the final involvement of the President is
to show ASUU that there is the commitment
of the Federal Government at the highest
level.
It was learnt that the President has been
fully briefed on steps taken by Vice President
Namadi Sambo and the Supervising Minister
of Education to get to this point.
It was learnt that the President will at next
Monday’s meeting present to the ASUU
leadership the administration’s last
concession for them to call off the prolonged
strike.
A source at the Presidential Villa noted that
if ASUU fails to call off, the Federal
Government will then resort to plan B, which
will be to compulsorily open the universities,
using the instrumentality of the governing
councils and the school managements.
Already, most of the governing councils of
the universities have started meeting to
work out modalities for the compulsory re-
opening of the universities should ASUU fail
to honour the personal request of President
Jonathan.
Scan News gathered that the Supervising
Minister of Education, Barr. Nyesom Wike
and the Vice Chancellors of Public
Universities also discussed the re-opening of
the schools last Monday. Most of the Vice
Chancellors suggested the compulsory re-
opening of the schools, should the last ditch
efforts fail.
It was gathered that security report available
to the Presidency may have necessitated this
line of action to salvage the universities
system from the direction it is facing at
present.
