The Academic Staff Union of Universities has raised an alarm over the failure of the Federal Government to timely honour its agreement they entered into last December before the lifting of the strike.
Specifically ASUU is worried about the failure of the Federal Government to warehouse the remainder of the N1 trillion already paid it with the Central Bank of Nigeria. ASUU has also drawn attention to the failure of the government to release N20 billion to it as allocation for this quarter (Q1, 2014).
ASUU National Treasurer, Dr. Ademola Aremu, said in a chat with newsmen in Ibadan, “This is February and the government is yet to release the money for the quarter.”
“All the strike ASUU had embarked upon in this country were basically because the Federal Government failed to honour agreements freely entered with us.
“It is also sad that each time before we begin the strike, we would give the government enough warnings and grace to make them retrace their steps. But they always fail.
“We don’t know why the government is always unwilling to implement the documents signed by their representatives.
