A dramatic turn of event on the strike ongoing in
universities may actually be the end to the over 100days strike embarked upon by the Academics Staff Union of Universities, ASUU. Report according to impeccable media sources has it the both ASUU and the Federal Government have sheathe their sword and an agreement has been reached and that the ASUU is
awaiting the Federal Government to sign the new
agreement reached to enable it call off the strike.

Our Source disclosed that the Federal Government has
agreed to be spending the sum of N200bn annually for
the next four years in the quest to raise the standard of our varsity education to the 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.

Among other agreement reached, 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.
With this level of agreement, it is expected that the
Nigeria will soon sigh and sigh of relief as ASUU is
expected to call-off its strike any moment from now.
