Dr. Nasir Faggae: "The Supervising Minister (Nyesom Wike) invited us for a meeting today (yesterday) and we looked at the document he presented to us, and it was a replica of the agreement we earlier reached. We then signed. We shall take the signed document to out members, they would analyse it, and direct us appropriately. We shall hold a NEC meeting of all Union Executive members, after which WE SHALL CALL OFF THE STRIKE. It can happen within one week, hence it's possible that the strike would be called off within one week".... Wednesday, 11/12/13 @7pm

SAHARA REPORTERS
Striking university teachers across Nigeria
today moved closer to resolving the five
months old industrial dispute that had led to
the closure of Nigerian universities by
signing a Memorandum of Understanding
with officials of the federal government of
Nigeria.
ASUU president Dr. Nasir Fagge told
Saharareportersover the phone that the
MOU signing took place at the Ministry of
Education in Abuja. The Permanent Secretary
at the ministry signed on behalf of the
federal government while the President of
the Nigeria Labour Congress Abdul Omar
witnessed the event.
The ASUU president said the Nigerian
government agreed to fulfill most of the
obligations agreed upon during meetings
with President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja a
few weeks ago, this he said, includes a non-
victimization clause.
Accordingly, ASUU will call a meeting of its
National Executive Council to take a look at
the MOU and decide on the next line of
action within the next week.
On its part, the Nigerian government will set
up a committee to fully implement the
agreement with ASUU.
The MOU signing followed a disclosure by
Special Assistant to the President on Public
Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe yesterday that the
Federal government had deposited N200
billion with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)
as part of the promise made to ASUU during
its last negotiation with President Jonathan.
