It also agreed to pay lecturers’ salaries withheld during their nine-month strike.
Also, the FG agreed to set up of new visitation panels for universities among other things.
But the Chairman of ASUU in the University of Ibadan, Prof. Ayo Akinwole, in a statement last week, called on Nigerians to blame the Federal Government if universities go on strike again.
Akinwole noted that the federal government has not fulfilled its promises despite the lecturers suspending the strike on December 24, 2020.
He added that many lecturers are still being owed salaries of between two and 10 months.
It was learnt that as of December 31, 2020, the Federal Government had failed to fulfil three agreements reached with the union.
However, the Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government has kicked against the notice by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to embark on a fresh nationwide strike.
TrackNews Online reports that this is coming barely four months after calling off a 9-month industrial action.
Reacting in an interview with The Punch on Sunday, the Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, warned that engaging in another strike would be a disservice to students.
