ASUU STRIKE UPDATE
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), might meet this week with the Federal government concerning the ongoing strike.
It is no longer news that the Union has been strike, dated August 14, 2017. It was learnt on Sunday, that the ASUU meeting on Saturday was to decide, whether the strike should be suspended based on the offers, made by the government.
A reliable source speaking to Newsmen, said the Union Might meet the government before this week runs out, for further negotiations before the strike is called off. Efforts to reach the Union President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi proved abortive, as he did not respond the calls and SMS to his phone.
It was also gathered that the N23 bn promised by the government to the Union, would not be beneficial to Lectures who were employed after 2010, as it was based on Earned Academic Allowance- an allowance one must have worked for, before it can be earned.
The Nine Zones of ASUU would have a crucial meeting on Monday 28 August,2017 to brief Members about the outcome of their deliberation.
