phemmy johnson: The President of the Academic
Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU), Dr Nasir Issa-Fagge on
Tuesday queried the Federal
Government for not formally
communicating the opening of
an account credited with the
sum of N200 billion in the
Central Bank to the union.
Noting that ASUU operates as a
democratic institution, Fagge
revealed that the union
“requested that once that is
done (bank account opening)
and the committee that is
supposed to disburse the funds
start working, our members will
have no reason not to suspend
the strike action” insisting that
the “most important part of this
thing at this point is that let there
be documentation”.
He said the union is insisting on
documentation for the fear of
not having to re-embark on
another action “for government
not meeting the requirement,
particularly the promises Mr
President has made”.
“Why won’t government make
available this money so that we
know the money is there and the
universities commence drawing
from this money to address the
problem of decay in
infrastructure, teaching and
research facilities? When that is
done, our members will suspend
the strike” he promised.
Speaking from the Abuja studios
of Channels Television during
Sunrise Daily, he berated the fact
that other unions had to re-
embark on the strike actions due
to the failure of the Federal
Government to keep to promises
made to the striking unions.
Debunking claims that the ASUU
is not speaking with one voice,
Fagge maintained that “Our
members do not play a role in
closing or opening universities, if
the university administration
decides to open a university, they
can go ahead and do that”
noting that “it is their own
responsibility” insisting that “our
members will not be there to
teach”.
Fagge expressed disappointment
in the way a previous
memoranda signed by the
Permanent Secretary of the
Ministry of Education and
authored by the Secretary to the
Government of the Federation
was “disowned virtually by
government” explaining the
reason behind the union’s
request that a person higher
than the Permanent Secretary of
the Ministry of Education sign the
recent document, and not
necessarily the Attorney-General
of the Federation.
The fiery-speaking Fagge
revealed that members of the
union also have children in the
closed universities....

The Nigerian government has extended the
deadline on an ultimatum issued to striking
university lecturers, asking them to go
‘Back to Class’ on December 4 or face being
sacked.
With the deadline extended to December 9,
lecturers are no longer expected to resume
duties as required by the seven-day ultimatum
issued by the Supervising Minister of
Education, Nyesom Wike, on November 28.
The Executive Secretary of the National
Universities Commission (NUC), Professor
Julius Okogie, told journalists in Abuja on
Tuesday that the ultimatum had been shifted
to enable the Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU) carry out the burial
ceremony of Professor Festus Iyayi, a former
leader of the union who died in the line of
duty.
In a bid to lay to rest the issue of non-
victimisation that the striking lecturers had
stressed in a letter to the government before
the ultimatum was issued, the NUC boss stated
that all lecturers, who would resume duties
and ready to work on December 9 would be
paid their full salary arrears.
The public universities’ lecturers have not been
paid since they embarked on a nationwide
strike on July 1. They have, by invoking the
non-victimisation clause, demanded that all
the arrears must be paid.
He, however, pointed out that the leadership
of ASUU, at the end of its meeting with the
president on November 4, had agreed to call
off the strike after several resolutions were
reached which did not include the new
conditions recently released by the union.
The union said it did not add any new
condition but only emphasised the non-
victimisation clause, which states that no
member of the union should be punished for
being part of the ongoing strike.
It claims the government was aware of the
clause and called for the payment of the salary
arrears.
It has also insisted that the government
deposit the 200 billion Naira revitalisation
fund for public universities as agreed with the
Central Bank of Nigeria, before the strike
would be called off.

FG deposits N200bn varsity infrastructure
fund in CBN -Govt
DECEMBER 3, 2013 BY KAMARUDEEN
OGUNDELE, ABUJA
8 Comments
The Federal Government said it has deposited
the N200bn promised as funding to
universities into an account with the Central
Bank of Nigeria.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President
on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, and the
Executive Secretary of the National
Universities Commission, Prof. Julius Okojie,
confirmed this on Tuesday.
The amount is meant for the renewal of
infrastructure in public universities in the
country.
Okupe, who featured on Channels Television
programme ‘Sunrise Daily’, said from the
government’s perspective, everything that
needed to be done had been done.
According to him, most of the demands of the
Academic Staff Union of Universities have
been agreed upon at the 13-hour meeting the
union had with President Goodluck Jonathan
which ended in the early hours of October 4.
He said, “At the end of that meeting, the
Government proposed that everything that has
been agreed should be put in a memorandum
of agreement and that the two parties should
sign, but the leadership of ASUU declined and
said instead of that, they would rather have a
letter of comfort expressing everything that
has been resolved therein, and that will suffice
for them.”
Okupe stressed that the attitude of the ASUU
leadership showed that the seed of discord
and evidence of bad faith already existed.
“It is unfortunate that somebody died but
notwithstanding, that cannot be a justification
for delaying the implementation of an
agreement for 21 or more days,” he said.
Also at a press conference in Abuja, Okojie,
who also confirmed that the money had been
deposited in CBN, said the Coordinating
Minister of the Economy and Minister of
Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, had
confirmed to him that the N200bn had been
deposited in the Central Bank of Nigeria.
