In a last ditch effort to resolve the ASUU strike,
President Goodluck Jonathan will on Monday, November 4, meet with the leadership of ASUU at the Presidential Villa.
This was part of the resolutions of the meeting between the ASUU leadership, Vice President Namadi Sambo and the Supervising Minister of Education on Tuesday as was first reported by this medium. An official of the Vice President’s office who pleaded anonymity said that all hands are now on deck to ensure that the universities resume next week.
The official stated that the Vice President and the Supervising Minister of Education have made head-way in resolving the strike, but the final involvement of the President is to show ASUU that there is the commitment of the Federal Government at the highest level.
It was learnt that the President has been fully briefed on steps taken by Vice President Namadi Sambo and the Supervising Minister of Education to get to this point and he will at next Monday’s meeting present to the ASUU leadership the administration’s last concession for them to call off the prolonged strike. A source at the Presidential Villa noted that if ASUU fails to call off, the Federal Government will then resort to plan B, which will be to compulsorily open the universities, using the instrumentality of the governing councils and the school managements. Already, most of the governing councils of the universities have started meeting to work out modalities for the compulsory re-opening of the universities should ASUU fail to honour the personal request of President Jonathan.
According to report, the Supervising Minister of
Education, Barr. Nyesom Wike and the Vice Chancellors of Public Universities also discussed the re-opening of the schools last Monday. Most of the Vice Chancellors suggested the compulsory re-opening of the schools, should the last ditch efforts fail. It was gathered that security report available to the Presidency may have necessitated this line of action to salvage the universities system from the direction it is facing at present.

Vladimir Putin leads opposition to
possible US unilateral strike, as US
envoy accuses Russia of holding UN
hostage.
World leaders gathered at the G20
summit in the Russian city of St
Petersburg have failed to settle their
differences over the US push for
military action against Syria in the
wake of alleged chemical attack.
The first day of the summit on
Thursday was overshadowed by the
conflict, as President Barack Obama
tried to garner international support
for the military campaign amid
Russian opposition.
"The G20 has just now finished the
dinner session at which the divisions
about Syria were confirmed," Italian
Prime Minister Enrico Letta, who
attended the dinner, said in a
comment on his official Twitter feed.
Russia, an ally of Syria, has led the
opposition to US-led military action
against the Syrian regime over a
chemical attack on August 21 outside
Damascus, which Washington says was
perpetrated by the government
forces.
In New York, the US Ambassador to
the United Nations, Samantha Power,
left no doubt that Washington had
given up trying to work with the UN
Security Council over the attack.
She said there was "no viable path
forward in this Security Council" and
accused Russia of holding it hostage.
Beyond convincing Russia, Obama has
a tough sell ahead elsewhere. China -
another veto-wielding Security
Council member - has already
expressed its "grave concerns" over
unilateral military strikes.
A political solution is the only way to
end the Syria crisis, a senior Chinese
official said on Thursday, warning
world powers to be "highly prudent".
"War cannot solve the problem in
Syria," Chinese delegation spokesman
Qin Gang told reporters at the G20.
The UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-
moon, later told the leaders at the
summit that any military action must
have the Security Council's backing.
"Let us remember: every day that we
lose is a day when scores of innocent
civilians die," his office quoted him as
saying. "There is no military solution."
Pope Francis added his voice to the
calls for a peaceful solution, warning
against the "futile pursuit of a military
solution".
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has
repeatedly ruled out her country's
participation in any US-led military
strike against Assad's regime, while
the British parliament has also
rejected the idea.
EU president Herman van Rompuy
said while the Damascus chemical
attack was “a crime against humanity”
there was "no military solution to the
Syrian conflict".
However, France has said it was ready
to support US intervention.
Obama blames forces loyal to Syrian
President Bashar al-Assad for the
August 21 poison gas attack in the
Damascus suburbs that killed up to
1,400 people.
US proofs
Moscow says Obama has not proven
that claim and says rebel forces may
have carried it out.
Putin's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov
said earlier in the day that they cannot
accept US proofs of chemical weapon
used in Syria. “They are far from being
convincing” he said.
Meanwhile, the British Prime Minister,
David Cameron, said London had fresh
evidence of chemical weapons use.
In a new bid for a peaceful solution
for Syria, the UN announced that its
special envoy Lakhdar Brahimi would
attend meetings at the two-day
summit to push for peace talks.
Russia meanwhile, said Syria's Foreign
Minister Walid Muallem would travel
to Moscow on Monday, as Obama
seeks to convince US lawmakers to
approve military action.
Western military action against Syria
had looked imminent last week, but
Obama deferred the move and is
seeking backing from Congress after a
Senate panel backed his plans.
Now in its third year, the popular
uprising against the Assad regime has
cost more than 100,000 lives.

Osaze move to Cardiff City confirmed

The Monday meeting between striking university
lecturers and the federal government ended
without a resolution of the crisis.
The meeting, which held at the office of the
Secretary to the Government of the Federation,
was attended by the Minister of Finance, Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala; Minister of Labour, Emeka
Nwogwu; Minister of Education, Rukayyatu
Rufai; and the Benue State Governor and head
of the government’s delegation, Gabriel Suswam.
The lecturers’ union, ASUU, was led by the
President of the union, Nasiru Fagge.
The meeting lasted for over four hours (from
3:p.m. to about 7:15p.m).
More details later…

http://premiumtimesng.com/news/143057-breaking-ASUU-strike-continues-as-fg-lecturers-meeting-deadlocked.html

In anticipation of today's meeting
between the Federal Government
and ASUU representatives, the
President of the Academic Staff
Union of Universities, Dr. Nasir Fagge, has stated that
the union will not back down on the ongoing strike if a
compromise is not reached.
Dr. Fagge made this statement in a telephone interview
earlier today. He maintained that the strike action was
not embarked upon just for the demands, but for the
Federal Government to honour a Memorandum of
Understanding which it signed in 2012 with ASUU.
The ASUU President: "Who's talking about demands
here? We presented our demands in 2006 and it took us
three years to get it into an agreement.
"The FG signed the MOU in 2012, that's what we are
asking them to honour, period. The strike action will not
continue only if they implement the MOU we had last
year."
The ASUU President further noticed that "If we call off
the strike when the MOU has not been implemented, of
what use was the strike action in the first place? We are
holding on until everything is sorted out."
The strike by the lecturers lasts for forty-nine days if,
ASUU does not reach an agreement with the Federal
Government at the meeting scheduled to hold later today
