STRONG indications emerged in Abuja, on Monday, that the Federal Government may have shifted ground to sign a central agreement with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) as against its earlier position.
President Umaru Yar’Adua has ordered the Minister of Education, Dr. Sam Egwu-led Federal Government’s negotiation team to sign whatever agreement finally arrived at with the ASUU within the 14 days ultimatum by ASUU.
The chairman of the University of Abuja chapter of ASUU, Dr. Mallam Abu, dislosed this while featuring on the Africa Independent Television (AIT) programme, monitored in Abuja on Monday.
He said a document signed to that effect between the ASUU and the Edo State governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, brokered peace that led to the suspension of the about four months strike embarked upon by the union.
However, as the lecturers resume, on Monday, academic activities were yet to commence fully at the University of Abuja, as students were yet to return to the campus.
Abu, giving insight into the meetings the union had with the Oshiomhole and education minister, said ASUU had extracted commitment from the Federal Government to sign the agreement when the grey issues involved might have been tackled within two weeks.
He also denied the insinuations by the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) that ASUU failed to carry them along in the truce brokered by Oshiomhole.

ASUU is a group for thieves. It's true they are lecturers, but should that make them earn the highest wage in Nigeria? Wealth is not about how much education you have, but the kinda job you do.
These ppl only want to take advantage of Yar'adua because he's meek and gentle, why didn't they do this in the era of Obasanjo?
They should even appreciate government for not cutting-jobs like every country is doing.

i strongly disagree with ur opinion because look at all the life of most polliticians, im sure if u research properly u will c that most of them are drop out kids, no complete secondary school result and dey earn more than the lecturers. its so unfair! for me personally ve always wanted to be a lecturer buh with the way things are going i would rather go into politics mysef KMFT!
All dis strike, feud started one day and surely surelt it shall all end one day lets just keep supporting those that are fighting for their ryts rather than HATE!
