No Agreement Was Signed With The FG To Call Off Strike – ASUU Reveals

Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has disclosed that no agreement was signed with the federal government before calling off the eight month strike.

ASUU President, Emmanuel Osodeke, stated this on Monday during a meeting with the leadership of the House of Representatives.

It would be recalled that the Appeal Court had affirmed the ruling of the National Industrial Court that asked the union to return to school.

However, before the ruling by the court, the House had brokered some agreements between the union and the federal government.

In the meeting, Mr Osodeke said the lecturers acted in good faith by calling off the strike without any written agreement.

The strike we called off, our members did it base on trust in us and the way the speaker has intervened—three meetings now—it was on that basis we were able to convince them.

What we agreed on the issue of IPPIS and UTAS is a temporary measure. We were challenged to do it. We had to spend our money and our resources. In 2020, we were challenged to produce it, he opined.

Reacting to the comment made by ASUU President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila said there is no need for ASUU to request a written agreement that the House is working with the executive.

He cited the provision of N470 billion in the 2023 budget by President Muhammadu Buhari and the agreement to adjust the IPPIS to accommodate the peculiarities of ASUU.

Hon Gbajabiamila further announced that the House will host an education summit to address the issues facing the sector.

In his contribution, the acting Accountant General of the Federation, Okolieaboh Sylva said the government is compiling the peculiarities of ASUU and amending the IPPIS accordingly.
