An end may be in sight for the
lingering strike of the Academic Staff
Union of Universities, ASUU, as the
Federal Government is said to be
offering N30 billion as earned
allowances to the striking university lecturers.



According to a top official of the
Federal Ministry of Education, due to
the dwindling revenue base of the
government, it was ready to offer N30
billion to the striking lecturers to end
the strike.
The official believes government’s
position is a sincere approach in
ending the strike a mid dwindling
revenue profile occasioned by oil theft
and macro-economic measures aimed
at diversifying the economy.
All the demands of the striking
lecturers had been resolved except
one, the issue of ‘earned allowances’,
which they have put at N87 billion.
The N30 billion, which the federal
government was offering, according
to the source, was in the conviction
that considering the nation’s current
revenue base, ASUU would make
some sacrifices and go back to work in the interest of the
students and the
country at large.
The source added that the
government was desirous of a holistic
and sustainable solution to the
problems bedeviling the entire
education sector, with a focus on
infrastructure development, which the federal government had
set up the
Governor Gabriel Suswam-led
University Needs Implementation
Committee to handle.
The NEEDS Implementation
Committee had announced on
Tuesday, that N100 billion would be
made available to universities for
infrastructure development.

Oh, the lecturers should make sacrifice yet the FG cannot make sacrifice and cut down on useless allowances and salaries

If the ASUU agrees, then there was no point on doing the whole strike in the first place.
