ASUU STRIKE: FG TO RESUME NEGOTIATIONS TODAY WITH UNION
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) will today, meet with the federal government to continue deliberations on its demands.
The union is insisting that until certain conditions are met by government, its members will not return to work.
Prof Biodun Ogunyemi, the ASUU President, who spoke with reporters in Ibadan, Oyo State ahead of today’s meeting, said the government must show concrete evidence of the payment of at least N50 billion revitalisation fund as requested by the Union earlier.
Another condition attached to the suspension of the strike is
“the presentation of concrete evidence of the payment of the promised N20 billion earned academic allowances and showing how the balance of N85 billion will be paid with timelines”.
The union is asking the government to mainstream the earned academic allowances into the 2019 budget, which is still being worked on by the National Assembly.
