the national leadership of ASUU has made its presentation to the Prof. Nimi Briggs-led committee set up to renegotiate the 2009 agreement signed by both sides.
The National President of ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke while speaking with the correspondent, , said his union had done its best in the circumstance.
“We have made our presentation to the committee and there is nothing more to add,” he said.
On when the feedback is expected from the government’s side, he said, “They promised to get back to us within a short time.”
Though he did not say anything about what the union’s presentation contained, it was gathered that the union could give the government more time to meet some demands that have financial implications.
When contacted, Prof. Briggs said his committee had met with ASUU and had done its assignment.
Among the issues in contention are staff welfare, payment of Earned Academic Allowance, payment of Revitalisation Fund of N200 billion yearly for at least six years to provide facilities in the universities, stoppage of the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS), as the payment platform in the university system among others.
However, government is blaming paucity of funds for its inability to meet some of the demands, while the union is accusing the government of not getting its priorities right.
