Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) over what it called the
infiltration of the union by the opposition to discredit the
government.
Sahara Reporters gathered that as the committee set up by the Nigerian
government to negotiate with the union gave a verdict of
non-compromise on the part of the union and 'security report' of the
infiltration of the opposition, it decidedto break the negotiation.
The committee had told the government that the union leaders were
arrogant and selfish as their interest was paramount to that of their
students who had been at home all this while.
The government after the report told the committee members that it had
fresh security report that the union's stance on the lingering crisis
in the education sector was as a result of the opposition's
infiltration into the union.
The government in breaking the negotiation has decided to fund
individual student's education as it is done in advanced countries.
As a way of making nonsense of the industrial action by ASUU,
SaharaReporters gathered that the government plans to introduce loans
to the students throughout their period in the university so as to
cushion the effect of the financial hardship on the students.
The government expects the students to re-pay the loans after
graduation provided they get jobs of their choice. It however could
not be ascertained how the loan to the students would compel the
lecturers to call off the strike.
The Nigerian Govt shud b blame
