ASUU Strike: Lecturers, Reps Reach Agreement, Waiting For Buhari’s Approval by Creatorchris(m): 6:22am On Sep 21, 2022
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the leadership of the House of Representatives on Tuesday reached the new agreement after four hours of meeting at the National Assembly in Abuja.

However, the agreement is subject to President Muhammadu Buhari’s approval.

Buhari is currently at the United Nations General Assembly meeting at the UN.

The President of ASUU, Emmanuel Osodeke led the Union to the meeting, while the Minister of State for Education, Goodluck Opiah represented the federal government.

After the closed-door session, Femi Gbajabiamila, who chaired the meeting announced that the meeting produced some agreements, however, he did not state the agreement reached.

He disclosed that the lawmakers will present the agreement to president Buhari upon his arrival, while ASUU is to do the same with their members.

“There were basically seven areas where ASUU has presented what we considered to be requisition for them to go back to strike. We have looked at the seven areas, we have more or less agreed on certain things.

“Once that is done, the leadership of this house will await the return of Mr President from the ongoing General Assembly. We will meet with Mr President. We will lay the agreement reached by the legislative arm of government. I am hopeful that Mr President will buy into the agreement and with that, I believe that this matter will be speedily brought to a close,” he said.

The lawmakers will on Thursday meet with National Information Technology Development Agency, the Accountant General of the Federation, the Auditor General for the Federation and National Salaries Incomes and wages Commission to discuss further.

I can say wiyout any fear that Buhari will not honour that agreement. In fact, he is not after education. Ifnonlybhe had his ways, he will officially ban western education.

Just like Boko Haram, western education is Haram.

I don't like Buhu as much as you do, but he hasn't banned western education in the seven years he has been in power, nor did he do so when he was millitary ruler, and infact under Abacha supervised the PTF which funded education a whole lot.

But you are right...government won't honor the agreement...just like the PDP did not honor the 2009 agreement .....for the harsh and simple reason that there is not enough money to do so.

Both Government and ASUU are running away from the fact that if they want to raise funding for universites...either raise fees, or raise taxes. Or remove the fuel subsidy, or end tax waivers for Dangote and co...and raise the money from there.

This is why I fear for the next president of Nigeria.

You are such a daft or a kid . What the guy you quoted was suggesting is that Buhari is not Pro-education. No right thinking person would expect a president to outrightly ban education. They can only do that by not making it a priority . Do you know how many agreements he has rejected in this same year.
So many foolish people here

So if Buhari decides to take his long annual leave this is how the students will be waiting for his final verdicts? undecided
