ASUU STRIKE: Will ASUU Go On Strike Again? See Reasons Below

The National President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Dr. Nasir Fagge, disclosed in a chat with PM News that the union is yet to receive allocations which were agreed upon last year.

Fagge explained that the Minister for Education, Nyesom Wike, who is the head of the implementation committee, is always busy and this has prevented him(Wike) from having regular meetings with the union.

"The minister has been busy all this while and now he has travelled again. We had requested that someone who is less busy be given to us so that we can have regular meetings but it has not been the case.

"We hope that when the minister returns from his latest trip, our 2013 allocation out of the N200 billion for the revitalisation of our universities will be disbursed.

"Part of our agreement also was the fact that our annual allocation of N220 billion will be made available on a quarterly basis.

"So, we expect that part of the amount for the first quarter will be disbursed as well when we finally meet," Fagge explained.

"We shall address the press in Akure today on some issues which need urgent attention in the school," Fagge said.
