LAUTECH<\/a>, Prof. Oyebamiji Oyegoke.<\/p>\nOthers in attendance were: the Chairpersons from University of Ibadan, Prof. Ayo Akinwole; UNILORIN, Prof. Moyosore Ajao; LAUTECH, Dr Biodun Olaniran and KWASU, Dr Shehu Salau.<\/p>\n
Oyegoke said in the statement that the strike was \u201ca ticking bomb\u201d and feared that the educational system would be engulfed in another crisis.<\/p>\n
ASUU strike: Students ask FG, ASUU to find common ground<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the avoidance of doubt, ASUU stated that only salary shortfall and setting up of Visitation Panels to the Federal Government-owned universities have been addressed by the government in nine months.<\/p>\n
\u201cOther demands such as the renegotiation of conditions of service, injection of revitalisation funds, payment of earned academic allowances, implementation of the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) have not been addressed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Oyegoke added that the proliferation of state universities, release of withheld salaries and non-remittance of check-off dues of Unions, which were all contained in the December 22, 2020 Memorandum of Action, have not been addressed.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201dThe claim by the Minister of Labour and Employment that the money allocated for Revitalisation of Public Universities had been paid as contained in the MoA of 2020, cannot be true.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe same Minister confirmed on Aug. 2, 2021 that the money is still in the custody of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), only awaiting application by the Minister of Education for eventual transfer to the NEEDS Assessment Fund Account.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat government is working hard to facilitate the release of money by the CBN since January 2021 leaves a sour taste in the mouth.\u201d
\nOn IPPIS versus UTAS, he explained that withholding salaries for months, non-release of EAA, non-payment of check-off dues accruing to the union, in spite of what ASUU has demonstrated, could only be an invitation to another possible cycle of industrial crisis.<\/p>\n
\u201cMoreover, UTAS avowed suitability has been demonstrated admirably to the Minister of Education and members of his team, the Honourable Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd other key stakeholders like Ministries of Labour and Employment; Education, Finance, Office of the Accountant-General, representatives of Nigeria Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe more the government insists on fulfilling the demands of the integrity test on UTAS, the longer the accompanying pains earlier identified in IPPIS will stay with our members,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Oyegoke said at a reconciliation meeting between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the leadership of ASUU on Monday, Aug.2, 2021 at the Conference Room of the Minister of Labour and Employment, all contentious matters affecting the outstanding issues as regard the implementation of 2020 FGN\/ASUU MoA were discussed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, on behalf of the Federal Government, promised that a broader government team and inter-ministerial committee on the draft renegotiated 2009 ASUU-FGN agreement would conclude its work and submit the report to the government by the end of August, 2021.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe meeting concluded with an agreement to reconvene by the end of August 2021 to ascertain the faithfulness of the Federal Government in resolving the outstanding issues.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are in the second week of September, 2021, nothing positive from the Federal Government so far,\u201d NAN quoted him as saying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
