The Federal government had given university lecturers an ultimatum to
resume classes today, Monday 9 December but the lecturers refused to
obey this directive.
Following the university lecturers refusal to call off the lingering
strike and resume classes, the Federal Government has summoned all Vice
Chancellors of federal and state universities to a crucial meeting in
Abuja on Wednesday.
Also invited to the meeting were members of the Implementation
Monitoring Committee (IMC) On Needs Assessment Report for inauguration.
This was contained in a statement signed by the
Executive Secretary,
National Universities Commission, Professor Julius Okojie, on behalf of
the Supervising Minister of Education, Barrister Nyeson Wike and
published in a national daily today.
According to the statement, the Vice Chancellors are to come to the
meeting with a list of their prioritised projects based on Needs
Assessment Report for funding and Vice Chancellors of state universities
must come along with with their account details.
It is not clear whether the meeting was called to disburse the N200b the
government said it had deposited in an account with the Central Bank of
Nigeria, CBN, which ASUU is insisting must be communicated to it
formally.
