ASUU STRIKE: We have made substantial
progress – Suswam
on August 20, 2013 at 5:27 pm in News
Ben Agande, Abuja.
The chairman of the Needs Committee of the
Federal Government negotiating team with the
Academic Staff Union of Universities and
Governor of Benue, Gabriel Suswam yesterday
said with the progress so far made in
negotiation, the strike embarked upon by the
university teachers should be called off in no
distant future.
Speaking with State House Corespondents
after meeting with President Goodluck
Jonathan at the presidential Villa, governor
Suswam said from its initial position that
there was no money to meet the demand of
academic staff, government has offered
N30billion and has indicated its willingness to
meet other demands by ASUU.
“I can say that we have made substantial
progress and we are hoping that this strike
should be called off based on some of the
mechanisms that we have put in place to
move the sector forward. We met extensively
yesterday (monday).
“You know there are two components to the
whole issue; the needs assessment
component, which is the one that I’m
handling, we have to some large extent
concluded on that; the earned allowance
committee, which is being headed by the SGF,
that is where there are some contentions. But
as you must have heard, the federal
government made an offer of N30 billion to
assist the various Councils of our universities
to be able to pay the earned allowances.
There is also N100 billion that is why myself,
the Minister of Finance, the SGF,the ministers
of education, labour, the Chief of Staff to the
President and the VIce President have just
risen from a meeting to take some decisions
that would end the strike and the President
has instructed us on what to do and he has
shown a lot of commitments and flagging off
a project worth about N 1 00 billion in all the
universities in the country. So we are hoping
that we will be able to see the end of the
strike very soon if at the end of the day ASUU
is satisfied with the measures that have so far
been taken” he said.
Governor Suswam further revealed that the
federal government will also be meeting with
the university councils and vice chancellors of
universities within the week with a view to
updating them on some of the decisions taken
so far.
“The president has graciously agreed that in
the first week of September he will be able to
flag-off the projects. You also know that the
procurement process will have to be followed
and these projects include hostels in our
universities, classrooms and theaters, libraries
and laboratories amongst others, some are
renovation some are new
and all the 61 universities are going to benefit
from one project or another, so it is not going
to be selective, all the universities are going to
benefit from this infrastructural revitalization
of our universities.
“the federal government has opted to also
meet with the Councils and managements of
the universities because earned allowance is
something that can be certified by the
management and councils of the universities.
The federal government said it is assisting the
universty councils with the sum of N30 billion
for them to go and verify the people who
actually earn these allowances and pay them.
“I think that the government had
demonstrated some substantial faith . Yes, if
ASUU said that this is the amount of money
that the FG is owing them and the FG has
shifted ground from its initial posture of there
was no money to offering N30 billion, it
means we are moving forward and with a
N100 billion available now for addressing the
physical infrastructure deficit in our
universities, I think the federal government
has done quiet well to have moved to where
we are today” he said.

Jonathan directs immediate action to end
ASUU strike
on August 20, 2013 at 6:05 pm in News
Abuja – President Goodluck Jonathan on
Tuesday directed the two Federal Government
committees negotiating the requests by
Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU),
to take immediate measures at ending the on-
going strike.
The Chairman of the Universities Needs
Implementation Committee, Gov. Gabriel
Suswam of Benue, made this known after a
closed-door meeting of the two committees
and other stakeholders with President
Jonathan at the State House.in Abuja.
Vice-President Namadi Sambo, the Chairman
of the Earned Allowance Committee and the
Secretary to the Government of the Federation
(SGF), Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim were in
attendance at the meeting.

Also in attendance were, Ministers of
Education, Prof. Ruqayyat Rufai, Labour,
Emeka Wogu, the Executive Secretary of
National Universities Commission, Prof. Julius
Okogie and the Chief of Staff to the President,
Chief Mike Oghiadome.
Speaking with State House correspondents,
Suswam said that the meeting was summoned
by the President “to take some decisions that
would end the strike’’.
“The President has instructed us, as to what
to do, and he has shown a lot of commitments
to flagging off projects worth about N100
billion in all the universities in the country,
about 61 of them.
“So, we are hoping that we will be able to see
the end of the strike very soon.
“At the end of the day, we hope ASUU is
satisfied with the measures that have so far
been taken.
“The federal government will also be meeting
with the Universities Councils and Vice
Chancellors of our universities within the week
towards updating them on some of the
decisions taken,’’ he said.
Suswam said about N100 billion had been
approved by the Federal Government to his
committee to address infrastructure deficit in
all the Universities.
“The president has graciously agreed that in
the first week of September he will be able to
flag-off the projects.
“You also know that the procurement process
will have to be followed and these projects
include hostels in our universities, classrooms
and theatres, libraries and laboratories among
others.
“Some are renovation some are new and all
the 61 universities are going to benefit from
one project or another.
“So, it is not going to be selective, all the
universities are going to benefit from this
infrastructural revitalisation of our
universities.
The governor said that the Earned Allowance
Committee being headed by the SGF, where
there were contentious issues, would be
addressed.
“As you must have heard, the federal
government made an offer of N30 billion to
assist the various Councils of our universities
to be able to pay the earned allowances,’’ he
said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls
ASUU had rejected the offer of the N30 billion
by government and stood on its N87 billion
demand to settle the earned allowances.
Asked whether government would be willing to
shift ground on the ASUU insistence, Suswam
said negotiation was still on-going,
“The federal government has opted to also
meet with the Councils and Managements of
the Universities, because Earned Allowance is
something that can be certified by the
management and councils of the universities.
“I think that the government has demonstrated
some substantial faith,’’ he said.
NAN also recalls that the meeting between the
striking university lecturers and the federal
government delegation on Monday was
reportedly deadlocked. (NAN)
