Late Monday night November 4th, President Jonathan met with
officials of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, over the
on-going strike. After the meeting, ASUU officials said they would relay
the outcome of the meeting later this week after consulting with other
members of their board. The Union has not made an official statement yet
but Punch is reporting that a key component of the agreement reached by
the parties after the meeting was that the Federal Government would
inject N1.1trillion into public universities in the next five years.
They
said the federal government would release N220billion yearly into the
sector beginning from 2014. For the outgoing year, the government will
only release N100bn and this has been processed.
They also said the strike would be called off anytime next week.
