The Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission,
Prof. Julius Okojie, on Wednesday said he is confident that the
protracted strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU) will soon be called off.
Okojie, who spoke in Abuja at a media parley with journalists,
said the commission was doing everything within its powers to
ensure a speedy resolution of the issues raised by ASUU so that
students could return school.
“We are part of the system and we understand the issues, we are
meeting with members of the union all the time and the issues
are being tackled.
“So, we are optimistic the strike will soon be called off and our
children can go back to school in the shortest possible time.’’
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that he also reacted to the
call by ASUU for NUC to be scrapped, saying “the call is not in
good faith as the commission has not gone to sleep over its
duties.”
Also speaking on the recurrent disagreements between the
commission and some professional bodies over accreditation and
running of certain courses by some universities, Okojie
acknowledged that there were issues that needed to be resolved
between both parties.
“There is no country in the world where regulatory bodies and
professional bodies go to regulate at the same time.
“So, it is true we are having problems with professional bodies in
carrying out our mandate, but the issues too will soon be
resolved and we can move on.
The executive secretary, who said the commission had closed
many faculties not fit to run courses in certain universities,
admitted that; “it is not easy to be a regulator.”
According to him, the commission was “silently regulating the
system’’ having to also pay professional fees and encourage
professors to do accreditation.
