BREAKING: We ‘ve done all we can to end ASUU strike- FG
The Federal Government on Tuesday said it has done all it can with regard to the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU).

Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu disclosed this to reporters at an ongoing meeting with Pro-Chancellors and Vice-Chancellors of Federal Universities at the National Universities Commission (NUC) Abuja.

As of the time of filing this report, the meeting has gone into a closed-door session.

The Minister is expected to brief reporters at the end of the meeting.

Adamu said: “In all, we have been doing, our guide has been the directive of Mr President Muhammadu Buhari, namely, that while the unions should be persuaded to return to work, Government should not repeat the past mistakes of accepting to sign an agreement it will be unable to implement. Government should not, in the guise of resolving current challenges, sow seeds for future disruptions.
“We have done the best that we can in the circumstance. After Inter-ministerial consultations and rounds of hard negotiations with all government agencies, we interacted with the Unions. I personally, gave it all it required to resolve the current challenges. I met the Unions anywhere and everywhere possible with facts, with figures, and with absolute sincerity. For example, I directly met with ASUU leadership in my house, in my office and at the ASUU Secretariat on several different occasions, in addition to other formal engagements going on.
“To be frank with all the unions, especially with ASUU, one major issue over which Government and the Unions could not reach amicable agreement was the issue of the law on “No work, No pay”. In the spirit of sincerity, the Government made it clear that it would not break the law. And on this, I must, openly and once again, thank all the Unions which made the sacrifice of understanding the position of Government on the matter.”

On February 14, ASUU declared a one-month warning strike

ASUU welcomes govs’ intervention, wants sincerity

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has said the union is open to the Progressives Governors Forum’s offer to take over negotiation aimed at ending the ongoing strike if it will be sincere.

The union’s National Vice-President, Dr Christopher Piwuna, disclosed this in an interview with The PUNCH on Wednesday.

The PUNCH reported that the PGF Chairman, who also is the Kebbi State Governor, Abubakar Bagudu, had, on Tuesday, said the forum would like to take over the negotiation when he led his colleagues on a visit to the President, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The FG’s refusal to sign the demands of ASUU and the August 16, 2022 last negotiation meeting which ended in a deadlock made the union declare a total indefinite strike on Monday.

Piwuna said, “They (the governors) have not informed us, they have not reached out to us to tell us this but the issue of education concerns every Nigerian, so there is nothing wrong for them to show interest so that this matter is settled in the best interest of the country and in our best interest and everyone interested in education. They should be concerned as Nigerians because they have been elected to office to solve problems.

“We hope the intervention will be genuine and based on respect for collective bargaining. We don’t want to be roped in to any discussion that will appear as if we are going to jettison our collective bargaining.”

Corroborating Piwuna, University of Lagos ASUU Chairman, Dr Dele Ashiru, said, “It is a welcome development if they have the mandate of the FG to negotiate on its behalf. The challenge we have is the government’s insincerity. It set up the Babalakin Committee, Jubril team and Nimi-Briggs now, yet all the reports were kicked out. If they will negotiate and eventually sign whatever is renegotiated, our union is open to interventions from all well-meaning Nigerians, including the governors.”

FAKE NEWS ALERT!!!

The attention of the management of Nasarawa State University, Keffi, has been drawn to the FAKE NEWS circulating in the social media space and purportedly signed by the Registrar of the University that the Governing Council has approved Monday 5th September 2022 as the resumption date for the 2022 academic session.

Parents, Students, and the General Public are strongly advised to disregard the information as it is nothing but FAKE NEWS.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Governing Council of the University did not meet on Tuesday 30th August 2022 and has not called off the strike.

Management of the University wishes to distance itself from the FAKE NEWS as they are still monitoring the current situation and will inform the public appropriately as events unfold.

We All Need To Act Fast On Economy, ASUU Strike, Osinbajo Tells APC Govs

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, n Tuesday, received governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in his office at the Presidential Villa, telling them on the need to act fast in order to resolve teething problems facing the country.

The APC governors were on a felicitation visit to the Vice President as he recovers from a surgical operation carried out in July.

While welcoming the Governors, Prof. Osinbajo in a statement by his spokesman, Laolu Akande, expressed his appreciation for the visit and the good wishes.

The VP also commended the expertise of Nigerian doctors, and the availability of cutting-edge medical facilities existing in the country.

During the brief interaction that followed at the meeting, important national issues were also raised especially regarding the economy and the ASUU strike.
The Vice President and the Governors then agreed to engage the issues and others further with a view to bringing urgent resolution for the benefit of the Nigerian people.
According to the Vice President, “we all need to work together on these critical issues. We need to think through things, and we need to do it fast.”

Present at the meeting were Governors Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State; Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State; Simon Lalong of Plateau State; Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State; Muhammad Badaru Abubakar of Jigawa State; Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara; Abubakar Sani-Bello of Niger State; Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State; Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State, and the deputy governor of Ebonyi State, Kelechi Igwe.
