BREAKING: ASUU To Call Of Strike As FG Proposes Additional Revitalisation Fund

The over six months ASUU strike that has kept the nigerian universities classroom shut might be called off this night by the association leadership.

Recall that The Fidelinfo earlier reported that the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, today (Friday) met with the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities in a bid to end the over six months strike by the university lecturers.

ASUU had embarked on an indefinite industrial action following its opposition to the government’s move to enforce the use of the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System for salary payment.

The union had instead, insisted on a different payment platform, the University Transparency Account System.

The federal government has earlier agreed to pay 30 billion revitalisation fund but was greeted with dissent by the association over the inability to meet their demands and demanded increment and adoption of proposed UTAS.

The Federal Government has agreed to pay an additional N15 billion as revitalisation fund demanded by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) as part of the commitment to ending strike.

More details shortly.
