ASUU To Call Off Strike In A Week's Time, Signs MoU With FG

Finally, the end of now 5 months, 10 days old ASUU Strike is in sight.
The Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities yesterday in Abuja signed a fresh  Memorandum of understanding.

ASUU had demanded for:

•  a non-victimisation clause,
• proof of the payment of the N200bn into a Central Bank of Nigeria account for public universities, 
• a review of their agreement in 2014, before they call off the strike.

Their demands were met by FG.

ASUU President, Dr. Nasir Faggae, now says ASUU would make its position known to government “within one week”, after their National Executive meeting.
According to Faggae:

“This is the response to the letter we wrote to Mr. President and this document would now be forwarded to our members and our members would give us direction. We are hoping that we would be able to meet with our members in less than a week. 

I don’t have the power to call off the industrial action, it is only our members that can do that. And our members gave us a message to give to the Federal Government which we have done and within one week our members would meet. We already have the document which shows that Government is committed”.
