The Federal Government of Nigeria , yesterday, appealed to Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT, to shelve its proposed solidarity strike with the striking Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.
Mr. Nyesom Wike ( The Supervising Minister of Education ), made the appeal in Abuja, at a meeting with the members of NUT on the proposed solidarity industrial action.
It will be recalled that the NUT on September 26, 2013, gave Federal Government two weeks ultimatum to honour the 2009 agreement they had with ASUU or face total shutdown of the education sector in the country.
Labour Minister Chief Emeka Wogu, who was present at the meeting, said the Federal Government has alread meet 80 per cent of the demand of 2009 Agreement they had with ASUU.

According to Wike, “The 2009 agreements with ASUU have a number of issues and I want to tell you that the Federal Government, has already met 80% of the critical needs. It is remaining only two major components which are earned allowances, and they are expecting the Federal Government to release N400billion annually for infrastructural development.
“ASUU now asked the Federal Government to develop the universities annually, and it shouldn’t be part of Federal budget and not part of Tertiary Education Trust Fund, TETFund, and that the Federal Government should allocate N400 billion for capital projects in the universities. This is not realistic, because we have Polytechnics and colleges of education”.
Most universities haven’t accessed their 2012 intervention funds so there are still funds for them.
On earned allowances he said: “The N30billion was for a start and then if it is not enough we would find a way to pay ASUU.”
The Minister of Labour, Mr. Wogu in his contribution said, discussion with ASUU is still ongoing, and that dialogue has not broken down.
“One thing that is clear is that Federal Government has started implementing the 2009 agreement so if there are grey areas, the appropriate thing to do is to settle it. The thing is that those grey areas cannot be settled when ASUU is on strike, the grey areas can still be settled if they go back to the classrooms. I think the issue is going back to the classrooms, intimidations would not resolve it, but for all hands to be on deck to resolve it.
“We have got to a stage where even ASUU has realised that government has done enough towards the implementation of the 2009 agreement.”
About the proposed sympathy strike of NUT he said: “I want to appeal to you to call off the proposed threat of strike. We just want to reassure that Federal Government would soon resolve the ASUU strike. Do not compound what is on ground, but rather suggest solution to government on how to end the strike.”
In his response Comrade Alogba Olukoya (the President of Nigerian Union of Teachers) said the union was not happy at the state of education in the country.”

ASUP nko? Meaningless to FG abi? Issorait.

If only that will make FG honours their agreement, Let The Strike Begin!! They shouldnt just watch their senior colleague wallow in pain but do nothing.

Enough of this stories please..we are tired!!

CALL OFF THE STRIKE PLSS

The major problem is that most of our leaders' children school abroad,so ASUU,ASUP,NUT,SSANU,NASU etc doesnt really affect them,the reason for the negligence.Another example is PHCN,the masses are in total blackout daily but our leaders can afford personal power to light their offices and homes,the reason for the neglect of power.So these are problems.Inasmuch as the strike directly affects the poor people and very annoying too,it is just the only way by which the University Association can bring change to the system.Again,must it always be strike before FG listens to the yearning of the people?Our leaders are not only hopeless but highly insensitive.Come 2015,we should vote in people that can bring about positive change and not these mediocres who are only good at stuffing their caps,houses,bank accounts with hard currencies.

Everybody is either on strike, or going to be on strike very soon. I really PITY GEJ, he is a good man, but there are too many problems.

Prince Ikye: If only that will make FG honours their agreement, Let The Strike Begin!! They shouldnt just watch their senior colleague wallow in pain but do nothing.

It's solidarity for ever.

It is pathetic that a known and acclaimed TOUT is now supervising a very important sector like the Education! I will not be surprised if Dokubo is announced minister of Defense.
