The Academic Staff Union of Universities on Tuesday said it has not heard from the Federal Government following the meeting between the two parties last Thursday.

The union added that it had not back down on the ultimatum it gave the Federal Government.

The PUNCH had reported that ASUU had given the Federal Government an ultimatum following the failure of the government to fulfill some of the agreements it made with the union in 2020.

The Federal Government had promised to pay the N30bn revitalisation fund to universities while also agreeing to release N22.1bn earned allowances to university workers.

The National President of the Union, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, had also lamented the pressure placed by the government on members of his union as regards joining the Integrated Personnel Payment Information System.

Following the ultimatum, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila had invited the ASUU President, the Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed; and Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, among others.

At the end of the last week meeting, the government promised to pay ASUU this week.

But Osodeke told The PUNCH on Tuesday that the Federal

Government had not commenced payment and had not reached out after the meeting.

He said, “Since that meeting, we have not heard from the Federal Government. But our ultimatum still stands. We gave the government three weeks and one week has passed; they are left with two weeks.”

E no longer concern me, make dey sha wait till i write my last papers if they kuku like make them go on millennium strike

ASUU and federal government should come to a compromise.

Werey Coun3

Useless government..
Lame ASUU

ASUU should go and rest. Their greed is too much. They want to get jumbo pay when they don't do anything other than frustrate students. How many of them do their work diligently? To me, primary school teachers should be given more attention than lecturers.

Naso FG and ASUU matter dey Be na
Who una help sef??
If there’s still a Nigeria come 2023 make every body get their pvc’s our destiny dey our hands

The things that the Buhari administration has gotten away with in the past six years, it will not be well with those who vehemently criticised Jonathan's govt in the name of saving Nigeria and are quiet this time.

I am just watching a video of how bandits have laid siege to the Abuja-Kaduna expressway for the past 3 days. A road that leads to the capital city is not in the hands of the FG. Shameful

because the EAR INFECTIONS has spread all over everyone of them.

we told you people that BUHARI and APC have nothing to offer you.

ASUU is the most troublesome and unproductive association.

They have been embarking on strike and threatening every government since 1980s without anything meaningful in the educational sector. They should be band for me, they will collect from student, the school and the government.
