FG Implements ASUU Agreement, Earmarks N1.3tr For Universities by Obinoscopy(m): 6:25pm On Feb 01, 2015
The Federal Government has earmarked N1.3 trillion as intervention grant to public universities on the platform of National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS) Assessment Programme.

The Minister of Education, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, said this in an interactive dinner in Abuja on Saturday, noting that the grant is for five years.

He said that the NEEDS Assessment intervention was a fall-out of several deliberations between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

“We have persistent complaints from for our universities about dilapidated laboratories and so on; then the government took the bull by the horn.

“President Goodluck Jonathan set up a committee to go round the universities on the platform of NEEDS Assessment which was conducted two years ago.

“At the end of the assessment, the universities came up with a bill of N1.3 trillion required to address the necessary need in public universities and government accepted it.

“Since the government cannot dish out N1.3 trillion all at once, there was an agreement between the Federal Government and the leadership of the ASUU that the needs be addressed over a period of five years with a provision of 220bn every year,’’ he said.

Shekarau said that the first phase of N220 billion was released early in 2014, adding that there were still some few universities that had yet to access their share of the grant.

According to him, the NEEDS intervention is in addition to normal budgetary allocations to universities and TETFund interventions, among others.

The minister said that similar assessments had been completed for public polytechnics and colleges of education.

Shekarau said that the focus of Jonathan on education was to increase access and build capacity with quality education.

He said that the government had demonstrated its desire for improved education by establishing 12 new universities.

He noted that it was first time in the history of Nigeria when such number of universities would be established at a time.

The education minister said that the Federal Government also approved nine new private universities recently while there were plans to approve another nine private universities across the country.

FACT#Nigeria is really getting interesting..
Fellow
compatriots, we need not shout nor fight
ourselves. President Goodluck Johnathan is a
good
man as a person, his simplicity and
gentlemanness
is second to none. *He has given us his very
BEST
over the last 6 years. I mean, what else are we
asking for? *He has granted Alameisiya
'STATE
PARDON' and my guy is now running for
Senate.
*He allowed Fayoose to distrupt a court
session
and beat up a judge, while he walks freely. I
wonder if Nigeria is sane. *He locked up the
house
of rep from the entrance of the
CONSTITUTIONAL
speaker of that house. *7 law makers
impeached a
speaker in Ekiti in a house of about 26 men,
and
nothing happened. *16 was suddenly greater
than
19 in base 10, just to cancel the one-term
agreement he signed with the NIGERIA
Governors'
Forum and all Nigerians in 2011. *Subsidy
has
been removed and the standards in our
hospitals
have reduced with time. *$20 billion is
missing
and minister of Petroleum eats and dines with
the
prexy.*Another BIGGER & BOLDER subsidy is
scheduled for 1st of June, 2015 and you may
have
to sell your laptop charger before you can buy
fuel
to charge that same laptop!!! * Earlier this
year,
over 22 innocent Nigerians were killed in the
job
scam of Nigerian Immigration Service. The
Minister
of Interior, Abba Moro, told us the job
interrwas
"simply mismanaged" and he has retained his
office and even with extra luggage. *1 Naira
used
to be equal $1.2 under#GMBbut now it's
#186.5
to just $1, the worst ever in our history. *
Madam
Gele, Ngozi Okonjo, just told we need an extra
$5
billion, through debts of course, so that how
economy will not collapse like Humpty-
Dumpty.
*While Benue State University was on an
unending
internal strike, Senator DAVID MARK (son of
the
soil) built his own PRIVATE UNIVERSITY, of
course
with tax payers' money, and my gentle
president
followed him to launch the school
shamelessly.*He
has spent all money in the treasury and even
had
to BORROW an extra $1 billion
but#BokoHaramke
eps getting more equipped than our military.
*Over
200 girls are missing, over 15,000 killed by#
BokoHaram, over 6 million displaced from
their
homes and uncountable injured beyond repairs
yet
my president went to a a meeting
in#KENYAwith 7
different PRIVATE JETS.. *clears throat... *
# PHCNis giving their loyal customers
GENERATORS as gifts for paying their#
electrici
tybills on time..Grab your COPY NOW!!! .
That's
less than 1% of the reasons we need to dance
to a
new SHOKI, this AWILO is no more wulo for
us.
Cheers to an unstoppable change.. If you truly
love
Nigeria share with everyone on yourcontact
list.
