''The only reason we disagree is to agree''.OMS
An agreement must have been reached now I suppose.
ifeanyi_ja: The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU)
will meet with President Goodluck Jonathan later
Monday afternoon at 2pm.

The leadership of ASUU are currently meeting with
the Senate President, David Mark and some other
legislative officials at the National Assembly.

In preparation to the meeting which is meant to
find a lasting solution to the ongoing strike action
which has kept students home for four months
now, the President held a closed door meeting
with the supervising minister of education.

The ASUU team is expected to proceed to the villa
after the meeting at the National Assembly.

More details later....

Jonathan in make-or-mar meeting with ASUU

President Goodluck Jonathan is currently locked in a closed-door make-or-mar meeting with striking members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities inside the First Lady Conference Room, Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The President is being joined at the meeting that started at 2.40pm  by Vice President Namadi Sambo; Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Pius Anyim; Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike; and Minister of Labour, Emeka Wogu among others.

ASUU President, Dr. Nasir Isa Faggae, led the union team which included past presidents such as Prof. Abdulahi Sule-Kano, Prof. Dipo Fashina and Prof. Festus Iyayi.

President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Abdulawahid Omar and that of the Trade. Union Congress, Bobboi Kaigama, are also in attendance.

Indication that the logjam may be resolved at the meeting emerged when the President declared while shaking hands with members of the delegation that, “The matter must be resolved here today. Our children must go back to school.”

All those in attendance responded with a loud “amen.”

BREAKING NEWS: ASUU
takes Jonathan's
message to members
•After 13 hours meeting.



mehn dix means dat ASUU is
democratic in the real sense not
in the Nigerian sense. Read
between the lines from d news update. Those guys
have the mandate of their members to call off the strike
only if the 2009 agreement is
fully implemented. Any thing
less than that, they must consult
their members. Jux lyke they are going to do now. . And Kiping the whole country in Suspense! S. M. H

Jonathan, ASUU meeting: Varsity teachers still
undecided




The over 12 hours marathon meeting between President
Goodluck Jonathan and striking members of the
Academic Staff Union of Universities ended at about
3.30am on Tuesday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja
without a commitment from the union members.
ASUU President, Dr. Nasir Isa Faggae, told State House
correspondent that the delegation was taking back an
undisclosed message to their members following which a
decision will be taken on the union’s next line of action.
“We have had a lengthy meeting with Mr. President,
robbing minds on how best to address the problem of
university education in this country. We now have a
message from Mr. President that we are going to take to
our members and we are expecting that our members
will respond appropriately to his message,” he said.
He said since the message was meant for members, he
would not divulge it to the press.
When asked whether he will call his members to return
to the classroom, he said that decision was left for
members to take.
When further asked whether he was impressed by the
President’s message, Faggae warned journalists from
putting words into his mouth, insisting that only ASUU
members would determine that.
Minister of Labour, Chief Emeka Wogu, who listened to
Faggae’s encounter with journalists later said progress
was made during the discussion.
He said, “We made progress. The President of ASUU told
you that they are going back with a message from the
Federal Government back to their members and the
message is full of high expectation and hope.”
When asked whether ASUU will call off the strike, the
minister said that was why he described the message as
full of expectation.
“Our prayer is that they will come back with positive
outcome. They might even not come back to meet us.
They might take decision there that will meet your
expectations ” he said.
He added that the offers made by the government during
the meeting were offers that were in line with the 2009
agreement.
He said since the issues that led to the strike bothered
on the 2009 agreement, the government did not go
beyond that agreement.
The President was joined at the meeting that started at
2.40pm on Monday by Vice President Namadi Sambo;
Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; Secretary
to the Government of the Federation, Pius Anyim;
Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike; and
Wogu among others.
Faggae led the union team which included past
presidents such as Prof. Abdulahi Sule-Kano, Prof. Dipo
Fashina and Prof. Festus Iyayi.
President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Abdulawahid
Omar and that of the Trade. Union Congress, Bobboi
Kaigama, also attended.
Other members of the delegation were Prof. Biodun
Ogunyemi, Prof. Victor Osodeke, Prof. Suleiman Abdul,
Dr. Victor Igbum and Mr. Michael Odunmoraye.

Re: Updates From President Jonathan & ASUU Meeting by laplace19(m): 10:04am On Nov 05, 2013
ASUU members,from the start I have been supporting you guys,but at this point I can't go further to support you guys anymore...sad

Being part of the 2009 agreement the money for funding tertiary institutions,please you guys should just forget about it again and churn me out/graduate me like that as an unemployable youth....I still hope to go outside this country and acquire a better and sound education and as well turn out to be employable.

.....Cos even if the demands are met you lecturers will still be lazy to handle sound practicals for we students(most especially science students).

A friend of mine in Futo(Chemical Engineering,400L) has been repeating ordinary TITRATION he did in SS3 since his year 1,not that other equipment is not there to carry out the crucial practicals oo,but because of laziness....

Please,ASUU members na beg we dey beg... Accept anything FG offers you guys now...

Hoping shaa sad sad
