Federal Government says it has deposited the N200bn promised as funding to universities in an account with the Central Bank of Nigeria.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe and the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission, Prof. Julius Okojie, confirmed this on Tuesday.
The amount is for renewal of infrastructure in the nation’s public universities.
Okupe, who featured onChannels Televisionprogramme ‘Sunrise Daily,’ said from the government’s perspective, everything that needed to be done had been done.
According to him, many of the demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities have been agreed upon at the 13-hour meeting the union had with President Goodluck Jonathan which ended in the early hours of October 4.
“At the end of that meeting, the government proposed that everything that has been agreed should be put in a Memorandum of Understanding and that the two parties should sign. But the leadership of ASUU declined and said instead of that, they would rather have a letter expressing everything that has been resolved therein, and that will suffice for them.”
Okupe stressed that the attitude of the ASUU leadership showed that the seed of discord and evidence of bad faith already existed.
“It is unfortunate that somebody died but notwithstanding, that cannot be a justification for delaying the implementation of an agreement for 21 or more days.
At a briefing in Abuja, Okojie, who also said the money had been deposited in CBN, noted that the Coordinating Minister of Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, had confirmed to him that the money had been deposited in the CBN.
ASUU had requested evidence that the money had been released as a condition to suspend the strike.
Okojie, who claimed that ASUU did not seek clarification from the commission, however said, such money could not be distributed directly to universities.
“You don’t disburse such funds to institutions; it is not earned allowance. The minister of finance said since they opened the account, the money had been deposited there. If there was any doubt, NUC is here they (ASUU) could have asked the question,” he said.
The NUC boss also revealed that government had directed vice-chancellors of federal universities to extend the resumption deadline for lecturers to December 9 to allow ASUU members to attend the burial ceremony of Prof. Festus Iyayi.
Iyayi, a former ASUU president died in a motor accident on November 12 while going to Kano for the union’s National Executive Council meeting.
The Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike, at a briefing in Abuja on Thursday, had warned that any lecturer that failed to resume on or before Wednesday (today) would be sacked.
But Okojie claimed that government was not aware of the burial arrangement when the deadline was issued.
“Council has been directed to shift the deadline to December 9 to allow those who have travelled to come back. That letter was only received yesterday from the burial committee which I also forwarded to the Minister of Education”, he said.
Okojie promised that lecturers that resumed by December 9 would be paid their salary arrears.
“For those who resumed by December 9, their salary arrears will be paid. We can’t pay someone who is on strike salary. In a democracy, those who want to work should be allowed to work,” he added.
Okojie, who admitted that ASUU and the Federal Government discussed the issue of renegotiation, maintained that it was not supposed to be included in the Memorandum of Understanding as demanded by the union.
According to him, either of the parties could call for renegotiation at any time.
Asked why the non-victimisation clause was not included in the MoU as pointed out by ASUU, Okojie said the issue was not discussed at the meeting with the President, so could not have formed part of the resolution.
He wondered why the union turned around to raise the issue when it “never arose” at their meeting.
The NUC boss claimed that ASUU went away after the meeting with the President with the mind that strike would be called off on Friday only “to come back to say you (government) didn’t include it.”
“We are saying that if there was an issue, it would have been resolved. To come back after three weeks means we are going back. The issue of non-victimisation clause never arose,” he insisted.
He, however, promised that the government would not victimise anybody for his role in the strike.
“Government is not going to victimise anybody. Because of the mood that day, nobody thought about it. The President shook hands with everybody on that day. The letter was written that night, they also vetted it.
“Government will not victimise anybody. If any government is going to do that it is not Jonathan’s government”, he assured.
But ASUU President, Dr. Nasir Fagge, who said the decision had not been communicated to the union, expressed doubt about the sincerity of government.
He wondered why government instead of responding to the letter of the union went public that it had deposited the N200bn in the CBN.
He said, “What they are doing is that they will tell you something when in actual fact they have not done anything. There were previous times when they will call the public on a matter only for us to find out that it has not been done. If they have done it, what is wrong in them answering our letter? Why are they going to the public when we that they are supposed to respond to we don’t know.”

There are foods that help reduce the cholesterol level in our body. Below are 15 foods that help reduce cholesterol level.

1. Oats– The presence of beta-glucan in the wheat bran of oats helps lowers the body’s cholesterol level. It helps eliminate the bile salts in the intestine which forms cholesterol, as well as reduce the absorption of fats by the body.
check oats here

2. Banana– The abundant vegetable fiber present in banana helps lowers cholesterol level. Bananas are ideal for those suffering from coronary heart diseases which includes angina, heart failure, arterial hypertension, and myocardial infarction.

3. Guava– From an experiment conducted in India, it was noticed that after adding guava to the diet of 61 people with a high cholesterol level, there was an overall 9.9% reduction of cholesterol and 7.7% reduction in triglycerides in the blood. This lipid reducing effect of guava is due to its richness in soluble vegetable fiber, which helps ‘clean’ the intestine and facilitates the elimination of cholesterol and biliary salts (which produce cholesterol) through feces.

4. Walnut– Two fatty acids, linolenic and linoleic, present in walnuts help lowers the cholesterol level.
Researches have also shown that regular consumption of walnuts reduces the level of cholesterol in the blood.

5. Artichoke– Beta-sitosterol and Stigmasterol present in artichoke helps in reducing the rate at which cholesterol is absorbed in the intestine. Artichoke helps in reducing the tendacy of cholesterol to be deposited on the arterial walls, being the main cause of arteriosclerosis, which leads to hardening of the arteries.

6. Barley– It has been proved that the consumption of barley in any form, be it flour, flakes or malted form, helps reduce the total cholesterol level, harmful cholesterol level, as well as triglycerides. Barley consumption has been shown effective in preventing arteriosclerosis, which leads to coronary disease.

7. Avocado – Eating avocados regularly is highly recommended for those with excess cholesterol or triglycerides in the blood. This has been proved by many experiments.
Thus, using avocado in place fo cheese in salads helps brings about a significant reduction in calories, cholesterol, saturated fat, and sodium.

8. Macadamia – The fats present in macadamia nuts helps lower cholesterol level and improve blood circulation through the coronary arteries. This oil bearing nut is considered as one of the most heart-friendly nut.

9. Chickpea – The fat present in chickpea which is in moderate amount helps lower blood cholesterol level. Additionally, the fiber present in chickpea helps stops the absorption of cholesterol from other foods in the intestine, as chickpeas contain no cholesterol.

10. Sunflower seeds – Eating sunflower seeds, mainly as a substitute for other calorie-rich foods, causes a significant reduction in cholesterol level. This advantage can still be gained by using sunflower seed oil.

11. Carambola – This fruit helps reduce the body’s cholesterol level by a reasonable amount. Carambolas help reduce intestinal absorption of cholesterol due to their high soluble fiber content.

12. Apple – Eating two or three apples a day for several months has been shown effective in reducing cholesterol level. An explanation for this is that, the pectin present in apple absorbs biliary salts in the intestine which is one of the main ingredients from which the body makes cholesterol.

13. Soybean – it is well known as a fact that, ” the regular consumption of soy and its derivatives reduces the total cholesterol level”.

14. Kiwi – The presence of excess cholesterol in the bloodstream is one of the causes of arteriosclerosis. The kiwi tackles this due to the presence of soluble vegetable fiber in its content which reduces the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine.

15. Lentils – The fiber in lentils absorp cholesterol from other foods, as well as bile acids, which are the primary materials for cholesterol production in the body. After collecting the cholesterol, it eliminates it through feces. Therefore, the consumption of lentils is highly recommended for those willing to reduce their cholesterol level.

Diet is the most important factor in reducing your blood sugar level, if you eat whatever you like no matter how you exercise, your sugar level will rise, so know what to eat.

Reducing your blood sugar level is quite easy as long as you are willing to adopt a new diet plan. The foods you eat determine the sugar content in your blood.
There are certain foods that reduce blood sugar level, they include:
Beans, cinnamon, sweet potato, oats, vegetables, and nuts. I will recommend you peanuts and walnuts, try to eat unsalted ones and always eat in moderation. Check peanut and walnut

Moreover, you should try to always engage yourself in exercise regularly. Exercise really helps in reducing your blood sugar level as it helps burn down excess glucose in your blood. My dad was being troubled with diabetes about 5years ago, but after maintaining a proper diet and engaged himself in exercise (i do drop him at the stadium everyday for jogging, and mind you, he's about 56years), his blood sugar has never risen again.

Talking about diabetes in general, the following diet plan will help.

Increase the intake of : vegetables, legumes, fruits, onions, avocado, celery, nuts, whole grains, artichoke, mushroom, potato, wheat germ.

Reduce / eliminate the intake of: sugar, shellfish, meat, salt, milk, refined baked goods, saturated fat, chocolate, alcoholic beverages, soda drinks, etc
Hope this helps.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities is set to convene its National Executive Committee this weekend to discuss the offer made to the union by the Federal Government to develop public universities, it was learnt on Wednesday.
ASUU President, Dr. Nasir Faggae after a meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan which ended in the early hours of Tuesday had told reporters that the union would take back an undisclosed message to the striking lecturers.
The Federal Government had offered to inject N1.1tn into public universities in the next five years.
The Punchgathered that the union had concluded arrangement to hold the meeting to collate the views of members before a final decision would be taken on whether to accept or reject the offer.
Usually, the decision to embark on or to call off strike is taken at the union’s NEC meeting.
It was gathered that the meeting might hold any day between now and next week Friday.
In the hierarchy of ASUU, the zonal coordinators after a meeting of the national officers are to brief the branch chairmen who would consequently call for congress in their respective universities.
But a source who spoke on condition of anonymity said a meeting with the zonal coordinators usually take place two days after a major meeting with the Federal Government because they have to come from the nine zones of the country.
He said, “There is a national strike coordinating committee comprising the national principal officers and the zonal coordinators which is the highest decision-making body. In the country, we have nine zones. After the meeting, the zonal coordinators will brief the branch chairmen who will now call for a congress to brief all members.”
Asked if the strike would be called off soon, the source replied, “It is not a decision that could be taken in a hurry. All members must be carried along. We have a mandate which is very clear – that is the implementation of the 2009 agreement. Anything other than that, they will have to relate to members. The zonal coordinators will collate the decision of the branches and forward them to the national officers.”
A chairman of a local branch of ASUU in a university in the South-West confided in one of our correspondents that the date for the NEC meeting would be communicated to all the chapters on Thursday (today).
Another source said, “Before we embarked on the strike, there was a referendum. The referendum did not emanate from the principal officers but from the branches. Members must be briefed before any final decision could be taken.”
Meanwhile, strong indications emerged on Wednesday that ASUU may soon call off its four-month old strike as the Nigeria Labour Congress described the meeting between President Jonathan and the leadership of the union as the most meaningful since 2009.
The Acting General Secretary of the NLC, Mr. Chris Uyot, in a telephone interview with one of our correspondents on Wednesday, urged ASUU to explain to its members the offer the Federal Government had made to the striking lecturers in order to arrive at the next line of action.
According to him, since ASUU is an affiliate of the NLC, it is the responsibility of the union to decide on whether to call off the strike or not in accordance with standard labour procedure.
He said, “We simply advise that they carry out meaningful consultation with their members and ensure that whatever was offered was explained in totality to members of ASUU.
“I want to say that since the agreement of 2009 was signed, and of the various negotiations that have taken place, this was the most meaningful of the meetings.
“All discussions were taken aside and the issues in the 2009 agreement were examined, discussed and analyzed in totality.
“Let the ASUU explain in totality the offer that was made to its members. Even the NLC has to explain to the members of the National Executive Council of the Congress before taking decisions in such matters. I can only say that calling off the strike depends on ASUU,” he added.
