About five months ago, the Academic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU) in Nigeria embarked on a strike action for what they termed non-compliance of the Federal Government to reached accords - “... implementation of the 2009 agreement, the 2012 MOU and the recommendations of the Needs Assessment Report”. Since then all the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in the universities have been grounded.
Last weekend, Dr Uzochukwu Onyebinama, Chairman of ASUU, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, in Abia asserted that there may be hope in the nearest future if the parties have resolved to follow previously reached concensus. His optimism was based on a scheduled dialogue between the Federal Government and ASUU on Monday.
However, he added that the meeting shall be most productive if the Federal Government has resolved to keep to all the agreements previously reached. The stand of the government on this issue shall be clearly ascertained at the end of the meeting today.
