universities resume next week."
President Goodluck Jonathan will on Monday, November 4, meet with the leadership of ASUUat the Presidential Villa.
This was part of the resolutions of the meeting...
between the
ASUUleadership, Vice President Namadi Sambo and the Supervising
Minister of educationon Tuesday as was first reported by this medium.
An official of the Vice President's office who pleaded anonymity told
Scan News that all hands are now on deck to ensure that the
Universitiesresume next week.
The official stated that the Vice President and the Supervising
Minister of educationhave made head-way in resolving the strike, but
the final involvement of the President is to show ASUUthat there is
the commitment of the Federal Government at the highest level.
The President has been fully briefed on steps taken by Vice President
Namadi Sambo and the Supervising Minister of educationto get to this
point.
The President will at next Monday's meeting present to the
ASUUleadership the administration's last concession for them to call
off the prolonged strike.
A source at the Presidential Villa noted that if ASUUfails to call
off, the Federal Government will then resort to plan B, which will be
to compulsorily open the Universities, using the instrumentality of
the governing councils and the school managements.
Already, most of the governing councils of the Universitieshave
started meeting to work out modalities for the compulsory re-opening
of the Universitiesshould ASUUfail to honour the personal request of
President Jonathan.
Scan News gathered that the Supervising Minister of education, Barr.
Nyesom Wike and the Vice Chancellors of Public Universitiesalso
discussed the re-opening of the schools last Monday. Most of the Vice
Chancellors suggested the compulsory re-opening of the schools, should
the last ditch efforts fail.
It was gathered that security report available to the Presidency may
have necessitated this line of action to salvage the
Universitiessystem from the direction it is facing at present.
Goodnews... FG I support una...Asuu una own don too much sef
ReplyDeleteasuu ur father,fg ur mother
ReplyDeleteIf they shld composorily open the universities will they force the lecturers to teach???smh...
ReplyDeleteWhat nonsense. What does the FG mean by compulsorily open the Universities? Will ASUU be dissolved? Even if the Schools are forcefully opened, will the FG force lecturers to teach. The only reasonable thing I expect from the FG is to honour the 2009 agreement. ASUU should not back down, they should go all the way. I think it's time that Nigeria should stop churning out unemployable graduates.
ReplyDeleteDnt u guys knw that Jonathan is the GCFR;; he can sack even all the lecturers if he wishes;
ReplyDelete@Microse and phillip.......they'll happily sack the lecturers and employ the ones that are ready to work......so let ASUU think very well before rejecting another offer
