ASUU STRUGGLE; WHO WILL END IT?

The current industrial actions embarked upon by Academic Staff Union of Universities- ASUU will be seven month old on the 14th of September 2022 and possibly beyond that as no one knows when the union will call off the strike.

Recently it was made known that FG have actually agreed on all issues except on the no work no pay policy(NWNPP). According to the information,the N50bn earned Academic Allowances,will not be released by FG until ASUU resumes work.

Also, It was gathered that the government, through the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND), was working on releasing additional N100 billion as revitalization funds to universities.

It was also gathered yesterday that the striking lecturers will be paid their Earned Academic Allowance from the N50 billion released by the federal government only after they have called off their strike. Government said the N50bn was set aside for the university based unions as part of efforts to end the strikes.

The story is endless, how did we get to this stage in a country that is bless with milk and honey?

The struggle started years back and the question is who will end it?
