The Committee of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities (CVCNU) has called on the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, to resolve lingering issues to end the ongoing strike.

The Chairman of the committee, Prof. Samuel Edoumiekumo, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Abuja.

He said it was crucial for both parties to come to an agreement to end the strike as soon as possible.

He urged them to honour agreements entered into for academic activities to commence in the affected universities.

“We have already given a press release arising from the meeting of the general assembly of the committee.

“We said that ASUU and the Federal Government should amicably resolve all lingering issues,” he said.

Edoumiekumo, who is the Vice-Chancellor of Niger Delta University, expressed optimism that the issues would be resolved soon

NAN reports that ASUU had on Feb. 14 embarked on a strike to press home some demands including a call for the government to implement the Memorandum of Action (MoA) signed in December 2020 on funding for the revitalisation of public universities.

Other demands are Earned Academic Allowances, renegotiation of the 2009 agreement and the deployment of the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) among others.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, had on Friday stated that the Federal Government and ASUU would resume negotiation this week. (NAN)

..and with all the gra gra, most of the graduates they kept on releasing into the society are bunch of useless people and a huge burden?

The only thing we know is to consume, not produce.

Naijiriya is a consuming nation, a market where other countries sell their products.

Damnnn
If the government cannot make concessions on this issue? Then this present administration is a sham.
Shey the one wey happen for 2020 no shine their eyes?
We no dey learn for this corntree jere.

Federal universities in Nigeria should be locked � permanently and throw away the key till this government hear by force.

nonsense country

Telll federal government to pay ASUU first

If ASUU resume now, them go just work Sara

Them no go see shishi collect....

Federal government no care about any other sector other than the oil sector...

Na hot thunder go fire Buhari and his assistant pastor wey lie say them contribute money to buy presidential form for am...

This is while every student should vote and support Peter Obi.

The VC's are lecturers too, aren't they?
I am very sure the VC's are pivotal to the strike as well, Unilorin as a case study.
So who is deceiving who?

lol

So some students won't be able to go for the next Nysc batch?

Hell fire straight...

Na mumu dey kill himself because of Nigeria matter

Do our public tertiary institutions worth it? After all, our university trained technologists and engineers has never done anything meaningful.

Both ASUU and FG are mad.

Common bicycle we no fit produce!
Na only local bandits we dey breed!!

How can a man who does not have ordinary waec certificate prioritize education

Na abnormal people full this country.

And the minister of Education wants to be President...he should be beheaded

The both bodies are shameless
Abeg someone should instigate protest pls
Rioting go help the issue small

I should have been born in jupiter or saturn

This people self, were they sleeping for the past weeks this strike was going on but I trust our amajiri president, whether you strike till May next year he no go send u..to him cow business is far better than education...I won't be surprised if he admonish students from the affected universities to go into farming..and whenever he say farming he means cattle rearing...Herdsmen have taken over the farms

The bitter truth is that in Nigeria, if you don't have money you are not guaranteed of quality education

Federal government is not ready to meet the demands, ASUU is not ready to get back, the two party are both threatening each other, but only one person is getting hurt.


Every party trying eat their cakes and have it

Greed is what is killing this nation.

The lecturers want to enjoy their own share of the national cake because they feel they are being left behind, since they can't loot and siphon money like those in Govt

VCs are heads of governing council at institutions they are former lecturers though

Useless govt and ASUU.. greedy bunch.. na the student dey suffer am..

Awesome!

The one that I know is that someone wants to brand our public schools as moribund and/or unviable with a view to selling the institutions to themselves and their cronies all in the name of “privatisation” of public institutions. Just like nitel, nepa and almost nnpc.

We are watching.
