THE Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU has denied a news report that it agreed to call off the ongoing strike after meeting with the Government negotiation team led by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige on Friday.

The Federal Government at the meeting at the Conference Hall of the Ministry of Labour and Employment reportedly increased its offer for Earned Allowances EA to university based unions and funding for the revitalization of public universities from N65 billion to N70 billion.

There was news report that ASUU has given an indication that the meeting, the strike which started since March would soon be called off after a meeting with the leadership of union and its organs.

According to the report, the university teachers agreed to call off the strike after the government pledged to pay N40 billion for Earned Allowances and N30 billion for the revitalization of the university system bringing the total payment to N70 billion.

It was further reported that the Government agreed to settle the arrears of salaries of the lecturers before December 31.

The report also noted that ASUU was expected to report the agreement to its organs and then communicate their decision to the government after which a date for the calling off of the strike would be announced.

It quoted a source within the university union, that ASUU insisted that the agreement to call off the strike should not be announced until it has been approved by its .

But ASUU President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, has denied knowledge of any agreement to call off the strike, stressing that at the meeting, it was only agreed that union should convey Government message to their organs and get back to Government.

Prof. Ogunyemi, said: ”I am not aware of that. All I know is that we had a meeting and we are going to report to our . But I don’t know about suspension of strike.”

However, a source in the Ministry of Labour and Employment, said that after the meeting, the Minister, Senator Ngige, who described the meeting as “fruitful,” added that the government made a proposal to ASUU which it would take back to its .

Ngige told reporters after the meeting that, “Many issues were discussed at the meeting including salary shortfall, the payment system and revitalization of the university system. I am positive that all the issues would be resolved at our next meeting.”

Friday’s meeting was about the seventh time both sides have met to resolve the issues in contention since the university union embarked on strike on March 23.

After the meeting of last Friday November 20, Government agreed to exempt ASUU who had not enrolled in the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) and put them on the Government Integrated Financial and Management Information System (GIFMIS) pending when ASUU’S preferred payment platform- the University Transparency and ability Solution (UTAS) will be approved.

ASUU had consistently rejected IPPIS, stressing that it will erode the autonomy of the university system.

You knew or you wished.

What is your problem with bloggers. True they can be peddlers or misinformation but what makes you any different. Punchng.com posted it on their twitter. How him take concern bloggers

ASUU don talk am say we should go and marry

By now my wife water for don break

It's obvious almost 9 months at home has made many students read and not understand.

ASUU has not called off strike, ASUU "agreed", as soon as government starts disbursing the agreed fee.
Knowing how our government is, it's fingers crossed.

Strike continues, till further notice.

Please, if you are a Nigerian parent and you come across this.

Try hard not to send your wards to Government owned institutions in Nigeria, especially federal govt owned.

Private or abroad would be best. No FG will hold your ward down for 8 months over ⅓ of NASS budget..70bn.

They should kukuma everybody cuz me I don't know wat am going to write Sha wen school resumes

Make I catch any MF wey go cover book for hall first or I ask weytin 1 b you no answer on time we die there

Let them abolish higher institution in Nigeria..

Anyone vying for a job should just be employed and made to go through their training there...

Kindergarten, primary and secondary schools are enough..

University is a waste of 4 precious years in this harsh economy.

Most people that went straight to learn a skill as soon as they left secondary are well to do than most that further their education into higher institution..

Make nobody quote me oh because I'm entitled to the privilege to air my opinion.

I expected this

My own be say eh, i kuku no say this year na waste. Make dem allow me finish wetin ah dy do.
Make dem wait till january na den ah get time for study.

You people better call of the strike the dollar is going to 500Naira by the time you finish you would realize they have paid you less dollarwise better wise up.
Except Nigeria change its ways and stop bragging about $35billion to cover export when the only serious commodity they export is oil and 80% of what they import can be produce locally.
Countries like Japan,China, are taking in Trillions of dollars we are still sha billion we are bragging..

It seem we are kukuma not reading the news Biden winning means electric cars would be very much mass produce in the U. S it is only a matter of time before the world's so what would happen to our mono economy.

Party have scatter

9ja news ooo

ASUU and FG have always been at loggerheads since time immemorial, the consistent strike is just another insult on the old archaic and ancient curriculum, this country is way behind! studying in Nigeria is not worth it.

See what ASUU is doing to us

Please watch my video and learn from my mistake
If you are in sss3 or just finished secondary school please if you have money write standardized test like SAT, IELTS and Cambridge Alevels
A word is enough for the wise

I read this paragraph in the other thread. This does not mean the strike is ending soon, at least not this year.

They will go and learn as apprentice from Professionals. It will be cheaper, faster and more of practicals than theory. There were those professions before the advent of university education. University only make it civilised and formal.
