Yes! Pack your bags!
Just coming in!

Barring a last-minute change, the National
Executive Committee of ASUU will at its
meeting on Wednesday night suspend the
lingering ASUU strike to allow public
university students to return to their classes
as reports from the various local congresses
of the union today has shown.
Campus Times gathered that at the University,
members of ASUU in the University who have
been front-liners in the industrial action today
accepted the new offer from the FG and voted
that the strike be suspend. Other Universities
that have so far voted for the suspension of
the industrial action are Ahmadu Bello
University, Zaria, Uthman Dan Fodio
University Sokoto, Federal University of
Technology MINNA, and the University of
Lagos. Others are, the University of Calabar,
Federal University of Technology Akure, and
Ekiti State University. As of Press time, only
the University of Benin has refused to yield to
the call that the 4-month old ASUU strike be
suspended.
It will be recall the the Academic Staff Union
of Nigeria Universities (ASUU) has on 1 July,
2013 embarked on an indefinite strike to put
pressure on the FG to implement the 2009
agreement it entered into with the Union.

A source close to top guns in the Academic Staff Union Of Universities (ASUU) has told The City Reporters the lecturers will ditch their four month old strike this weekend so students could resume on November 18 (next Monday).

The source said there was no way the union could reject the new offer of N220bn a year tabled by President Goodluck Jonathan during a marathon meeting with ASUU last week Tuesday.

ASUU had come out of that meeting to tell Nigerians it needed time to deliberate on the new deal and reach a consensus among it members before talking to the press.

A top official of the union,  has however said the government could not be trusted even on the new offer, and that ASUU’s members were divided over the government’s offer. He, however raised a beam of hope by saying the majority still decided to give  the government the benefit of the doubt.

As ASUU executives meet this Wednesday, if the fate of the strike is down to a vote among the striking lecturers, as suggested by ASUU chairman, Nasir Fagge, the four month old impasse may surely end this week.

ASUU went on strike July 1 over the non-implementation of a 2009 agreement it had with the government with a key component of the memorandum of understanding the allocation of 26% of Nigeria’s total budget to education.

Although the government is planning to allocate just 9% of the 2014 budget to education, ASUU now seems set to end the strike after government offers that would surely boost lecturers’ take home pay and improve varsity infrastructure.
