Federal Government Speaks As ASUU Extends Strike
President Muhammadu Buhari-led government on Monday reacted to the extension of the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
Tracknews had earlier reported that the union extended the strike by eight weeks due to the failure of the Federal Government to address the issues it raised in a 2020 FGN/ASUU agreement.
The union’s National Executive Council, NEC met over the weekend in Abuja to discuss the way forward over the industrial action as it could receive a positive reply from FG.
The Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba in reaction to the decision of ASUU, noted that the government met all the demands of the union.
Nwajiuba while speaking with newsmen at the end of the commemoration of the 2022 Commonwealth Celebration in Abuja said all earned allowances, as well as the revitalization funds demanded, had been released.
He said, “ASUU announced and we met and everything that they have demanded, we have done all of them including the earned allowances and the revitalization fund; they choose to extend it for two months maybe.”
