The Coordinating Minister for the
Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi
Okonjo‑Iweala, weekend, appealed to the striking
university lecturers to call off the strike and resume
teaching.
She said this after she and the Governor of the
Central Bank of Nigeria, Mallam Sanusi Lamido
Sanusi bagged doctorate honorary doctorate
degrees at a private university, OduduwaUniversity,
Ipetumodu in OsunState.
The Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, according
to the Vice Chancellor, Professor Adeleke Ogunwale,
nominated the two eminent Nigerians for the award
as part of activities marking the maiden
convocation of the institution which produced 18
first class graduates out of 166 that graduated.
Dr. Iweala was awarded honorary Doctor of Science
in Accounting, her counterpart was honoured with
Doctor of Science in Economics.
The ceremony attracted important dignitaries like
the Ooni of Ife, Oba Sijuwade who was represented
by his wife, Chief Mojisola Sijuwade; the Pro
Chancellor/Chairman, Governing Council, Dr.
Adegoke Adedoyin, among others.
She said: “We are indeed saddened by the death of
Professor Iyayi. I appeal to ASUU to go back to
school in the interest of students, their parents,
because the Federal Government has acceded to
their requests.”
The Minister said this just as she clarified that the
shortfall in the federal allocation to state
governments in the federation did not have any
political colouration as being insinuated in some
quarters.
According to her: “There is no politics in it. Every
state goes to Federal Allocation Committee meeting
monthly; they see the account and know that oil
production is down and the receipts are down.
“They know Customs’ revenues are down, yet we
distribute whatever that is to be distributed. From
that, we have been able to manage this country and
workers have been able to collect their salaries.
On the need for the revitalisation of tertiary
education, she said: “Our tertiary institutions face
serious challenges which require urgent attention.
President Jonathan injects N220billion a year on top
of regular resources to address challenges in
tertiary education.”
She gave N50,000 prize each year for the best
student in Accounting and Economics as a personal
contribution to the development of the institution.
In his own short response, Mallam Sanusi said
though, the economy was becoming stable, the
effects of the growth should be seen in the life of a
common man on the street”.
The Vice chancellor of the institution, Prof. Adeleke
Ogunwale, commended the Ooni of Ife for giving
hundreds of acres for the establishment of the
institution which came to being in2009.
He hinted that the institution graduated 166
students with18 first class, 63 second upper division
and 82 lower class. Out of the 18 first class, 10 of
them are ladies. The honorees have impacted
positively on people. Patience Jonathan. Today, we
confer doctor of science in accounting on Dr. Iweala
while Mallam Sanusi was awarded. doctor of
science in Economics.

VARSITY teachers have
agreed to suspend their
five months old strike,
The Nation learnt
yesterday.The Academic
Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU) has
given three conditions
to be tabled before
President Goodluck
Jonathan today. If the
terms are acceptable to
the Federal Government,
the union will call off
the strike.The ASUU
leadership has banned
its local chapters and
zonal chairmen from
talking to the media
until after the session
with the President.ASUU
President Dr. Nasir Issa
Fagge and other leaders
of the union were being
expected in Abuja last
night.According to a
source, who was part of
the ASUU session at
Mambayya House in
Kano, the conditions are:
•commitment from the
President that any
review or
reconsideration or
renegotiation of the
2009 Agreement will
not substantially affect
the pact which is the
cause of the ongoing
strike;•immedia te
payment of all
outstanding salary
arrears and allowances
of varsity teachers
without victimization;
and•a written
commitment from the
President that the
Federal Government will
commit N225billion
annually to the funding
of universities for the
next four years.There is a
fourth condition, which
is said to be “personal”
to ASUU, bordering on
the need to be wary of
gradual loss of public
sympathy.The union
leaders were said to
have recognised public
goodwill for the strike
and the need to avert
any action that could
erode such
confidence.The source
said: “Our leaders are
meeting with the
President on Monday to
table these conditions.
Once the President
accepts these three
terms, the strike will be
called off.“In principle,
members voted about
60-40 per cent to call
off the strike, but they
added a caveat – that
ASUU leaders should
extract a commitment
(signed and sealed) from
the President.The union
is said to have insisted
on the three conditions
because during talks
with the Federal
Government, it was
apparent that the
government wanted a
renegotiation of the
2009 Agreement.“If
ASUU had accepted to
renegotiate the entire
Agreement , it means
there will be no basis for
the ongoing strike. The
worst that can happen is
either having the
abridged version of the
2009 Agreement or a
phased implementation
of the document,” the
source added.The
Adekunle Ajasin
University, Akungba-
Akoko (AAUA), Ondo
State became at the
weekend the third
institution to break ranks

The Academic Staff Union of Universities
has said it will not suspend its ongoing
strike until the four months salaries
owed its members are paid.
The union also wants the immediate
implementation of the N1.2tn offer by the
Federal Government to public
universities, starting with the release of
N100bn this year. The balance of N1.1tn
is to be spread over five years from 2014.
These were some of the resolutions
reached by members of the National
Executive Council of the union who
converged on Kano on Friday to
deliberate on whether to call off the over
four- month-old industrial action or not.
A source, who was privy to the
resolutions reached during the President
Goodluck Jonathan – ASUU leadership
meeting three weeks ago, told The
PUNCH on Sunday, that the fresh
demands were some of the issues to be
tabled before Jonathan by the
leadership during their next meeting. A
date for the meeting is yet to be fixed.
According to the source, a strong
commitment to two demands, among
other pending issues, must be obtained
from the President before the industrial
action will be called off by the union.
He said, “The issue now is on trust and
we do not want a situation where
promises will not be kept. The authorities
have failed us in the past and we do not
want a repeat of that.
”That was why we decided at the NEC
meeting that the government should pay
us the arrears of salaries being owed us
since we started the strike on July1
before the strike can be called off. The
salaries should not be paid piecemeal.
“We also insist that the Federal
Government should start the
implementation of the offer made to us
when we met the President some weeks
ago.
“For instance, the N100bn he (Jonathan)
agreed to inject into the university
system in 2013 should be released to the
universities immediately. So, we
decided that before the strike could
be called off, these two conditions and
others must be met not by promises but
by real action.”
The NEC members, who met behind
closed doors at the Bayero University,
Kano, were said to have reviewed the
reports of the various university
congresses on the strike.
Our source, who did not want his name
in print, added that the death of a former
National President of ASUU, Prof. Festus
Iyayi, was discussed at the NEC meeting.
Iyayi, a University of Benin lecturer, died
in an auto accident involving the convoy
of the Kogi State Governor, Idris Wada
and an ASUU vehicle, on his way to Kano
for the meeting.The union’s National
Welfare Officer, Dr. Ngozi Ilo, was injured.
Our source said the accident “almost
led to the discontinuation of the ongoing
negotiation with the Federal Government.
He added, “Some members expressed the
belief that he (Iyayi) was killed by the
government and therefore argued that
the ongoing negotiation should be called
off. Tempers rose but some members
argued that the President should be
respected because he had created the
record of being the first Nigerian leader
to meet with the leadership of ASUU on
the issue of making the nation’s
university system better. They also
argued that students and parents should
be considered.”
It was also learnt that after arguments for
and against, about 60 per cent of the
members of the NEC voted in favour of
the discontinuation of the strike while
the remaining 40 per cent voted no.
But it was gathered that the NEC
members unanimously agreed that
before the strike could be called off, the
leadership should ask the government to
pay the four-month salary arrears being
owed university teachers while the offer
made by the government should be
implemented immediately.
A key component of the agreement
reached by both ASUU and the Federal
Government when the President led the
government team was that government
would inject N1.2tn into public
universities.
The government also agreed that the
N1.2tn would be domiciled at the Central
Bank of Nigeria to show its commitment
to the agreement.
The money is expected to be released on
quarterly basis to the universities so that
there won’t be any problem about
implementing the deal.
The National Universities Commission
and the Trade Union Congress will be the
joint guarantors of the agreement while
the Minister of Education will be the
implementing officer. The government
also agreed to revamp public universities
by ensuring that all the issues that
always lead to strike were dealt with
once and for all.
A majority of the chapters of the union
had agreed to the suspension of the
strike following the fresh commitment the
leadership of ASUU obtained from the
government.
ASUU National President, Dr. Nassir
Fagge, did not pick the several calls
made to his telephone line by one of our
correspondents on Sunday to confirm the
fresh demands.
The University of Lagos chapter ASUU
Chairman, Dr. Karo Ogbinaka, and his
counterpart in the Lagos State
University, Dr. Adekunle Idris, also
refused to divulge information on the
outcome of the NEC meeting.
ASUU had embarked on the strike to
protest against the failure of the
government to implement the agreement
they signed in 2009.
The pact largely centered on better
funding of the universities, a declaration
of a state of emergency in tertiary
education, better wages and payment of
earned allowances to lecturers.
It had suspended the NEC meeting
penultimate week following Iyayi’s death.
