The Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike
has disclosed that all contending issues between the
Academic Staff Union of Universities and the Federal
Government have been resolved.
He made the disclosure in a statement following his
meeting with the leadership of the union on
Wednesday.
He also lauded the patriotism and strong will
demonstrated by members of the union to uplift the
standard of education in the country.
The minister, who had earlier threaten members of
the union with sack following their refusal to call off
the over five months old strike in the country's
universities, stressed that ASUU want the best for the
country.
According to him, "I am very pleased to announce
that all contending issues between ASUU and the
Federal Government have been resolved to the
satisfaction of the parties. Let me emphasize that we
recognize and appreciate ASUU's patriotic role and
commitment towards ensuring that our Universities
are well-funded, resourced and run like their
counterpart in other parts of the world. Thus, we are
all partners in progress and there is no victor; no
vanquished in the struggle of this nature for as long
as our goals remain noble, not actuated by parochial
interests, and targeted at moving our nation
forward".
He also assured that the Jonathan's administration is
serious about revitalizing all universities and will
continue to fund them as a matter of priority.
