ABUJA – The Federal Government, Thursday,
ordered all Vice-Chancellors of Federal Universities
that are currently on strike to immediately reopen
for academic and allied activities.
Supervising Minister of Education, Barr. Nyesom
Wike stated this while briefing journalists in Abuja,
on the latest on the 5 months strike.
He said it was rather unfortunate that after a 13
hour meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan in
Abuja on the 4th of November, 2013, three weeks
after the meeting Academic Staff Union of
Universities, ASUU came up with new conditions for
them to call off the 5 months old strike.
He said it was obvious that the new conditions of
ASUU was not in the interest of the nation.
The conditions that were given by ASUU included,
that President Jonathan should facilitate  the
endorsement of resolutions reached with him and
must be signed by high ranking government official
preferably the Attorney-General of the Federation
but not a Permanent Secretary.
