Sadly, we thought that the ASUU strike would have been resolved, this was the prayer of millions of Nigerian students and parents, but sadly, that was just the opposite.
The negotiations among the Senate, the Federal government and of course, the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU over the ongoing industrial action embarked by universities lecturers ended without parties reaching any compromise.
The much anticipated meeting which was at the instance of the chairman, Senate Committee on Education, Senator Uche Chukwumerije, PDP Abia North, was called to calm down the striking lecturers with a bid to finding a common ground with ASUU.
The information also sent to us revealed that while the meeting, which lasted for over seven hours Senator Uche Chukwumerije was literarily on his knees pleading with the lecturers to consider the plights of the students and call off the strike, but ASUU members refused to shift ground, and where bent on the federal government to accept and approve their requests.
I have to tell you that the meeting was full of VIP’s, since it concerns education in Nigeria, i think it should, people who were in attendance are:
- Secretary to the Government of the Federation,
- SGF,
- Senator Anyim Pius Anyim,
- Minister of Education,
- Professor Ruquayyatu Rufai,
- Executive Secretary,
- National Universities Commission, NUC,
- Professor Julius Okojie and members of the Senate Committee on Education,among others.
ASUP STRIKE UPDATE:
Well, due to the decision of asuu governing body, every single plan on ASUP Strike has been put on hold, until ASUP strike has been resolved.
But why would the federal government put ASUP on hold?
i thought they announce some few days ago that everything is okay?
who is to to be blame???
