The Federal Government, yesterday, condemned the new conditions which Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, insists must be met before the five-month old strike could be called off.
The three conditions were payment of four months salaries, which accumulated during the period of the strike; immediate implementation of the N1.2 trillion offered by the government to public universities, starting with the release of N100 billion this year and the balance of N1.1 trillion to be spread over five years from 2014.
The union also demanded that the salary arrears must not be paid in piecemeal.

They should not be childish. What were they thinking when they met with the President? It is now obvious they have ulterior motive over the strike, changing demands after each meeting. They are not firm to their character. At the start they vow to forgo whatever but only 5months they are demanding full pay of arears.
