The Academic Staff Union of Universities has
condemned the Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike,
over his comments that the union is making new
“outrageous” demands, describing it as a lie.
The union said it had only asked President Goodluck
Jonathan to facilitate the endorsement of resolutions
reached with him and to also be signed by top
government official preferably the Attorney-General of
the Federation but not a permanent secretary.
National Treasurer of ASUU, Dr. Ademola Aremu,
stated the position of the union while speaking in
Ibadan on Wednesday. Aremu praised the intervention
of Jonathan but pointed out that some of the
resolutions reached with him were not contained in the
letter sent to the union.
ASUU said its representative and President of Nigeria
Labour Congress should stand as witnesses when the
document was to be signed.
The union added that it wanted the N200bn agreed as
2013 revitalisation fund for public universities to be
kept with the Central Bank of Nigeria and disbursed to
the benefiting universities.
Aremu said Wike should have told Nigerians that apart
from the N30bn earned allowances released for
university staff, the government had yet to release any
other fund.
He said, “We are not making fresh demands. In fact,
the National Executive Council of the union would have
suspended the strike but the concern of our congresses
is that many of the things agreed with the President,
during the November 4 meeting, were not included in
the letter signed by a permanent secretary in the
Federal Ministry of Education, Dr. Mark Nwobiala.”
He promised that the strike would end as soon as the
omissions were corrected in the new resolution.
