ASUU Demands Proof Of Earned Allowance Payment To End Strike by coliboyswag: 1:23pm On Jan 21, 2019
ASUU demands
proof of earned
allowance payment
to end strike Published January 21, 2019 ASUU President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi The Academic Staff Union of Universities says the government must show proof of payment of at least N50 billion revitalisation funds for it to consider suspending the on-going strike. ASUU President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, made this known to newsmen on Sunday in Ibadan ahead the union’s meeting with the Federal Government on Monday. Ogunyemi added that ASUU had said only concrete evidence of implementation by the government would make its members return to the classrooms. He said ASUU had rejected government’s proposal to pay N20 billion in two tranches on the revitalisation of universities and asked the government to mainstream the earned academic allowances into the 2019 budget before National Assembly. READ ALSO: APC kicks as Obasanjo says Buhari behaving like Abacha He lamented that “Nigeria’s ruling class does not see education as priority but prefer to create new education colonies of private educational institutions which cannot meet the needs of the Nigerian children. “We want them to pay immediately N50 billion as a sign of commitment this quarter and for the next three quarters, government can pay N50 billion in each quarter. “Our members have rejected the N20 billion proposed by the government, which it promised to spread over two quarters in 2019. “Our members have insisted on the release of at least N50 billion in relation to earned academic allowances which the government has an outstanding of N105 billion. “Our members are saying that even if the government is releasing N20 billion, let it be stated clearly that it is only for ASUU members. “And the balance which you promised to pay in four instalments, attach timelines to the balance and figures. “In 2017, this government promised to mainstream the earned academic allowances into the budget so that we won’t be coming to talk about arrears. “If the government had done that and included it into the 2018 budget we would not be talking about arrears now. “Our members are saying the government should take steps to mainstream it into the 2019 budget and that is not late because the National Assembly and executives are still working on the budget,” Ogunyemi said.

I suggest Nigeria students should embark on strike too because if ASUU call off the strike today there is tendency that in few months later they would call for strike again. Most especially if fg does not fulfill the agreement.
