From all indications, the protracted strike called by the Academic
Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) may be called off anything from
now by the leadership of the union.
“We are part of the system and we understand the issues, we are
meeting with members of the union all the time and the issues are
being tackled. So, we are optimistic the strike will soon be called
off and our children can go back to school in the shortest possible
time.”
These were the words of Prof. Julius Okojie, the Executive Secretary
of National Universities Commission, NUC, who spoke on Wednesday
in Abuja at a media parley with journalists.
He said everything is being done within the law to ensure a speedy
resolution of the issues raised by ASUU so that students could return
school and continue with their studies.
Okojie acknowledged that there were issues that needed to be
resolved. “There is no country in the world where regulatory bodies
and professional bodies go to regulate at the same time.“So, it is true
we are having problems with professional bodies in carrying out our
mandate, but the issues too will soon be resolved and we can move
on.”
We gathered that Vice President Namadi Sambo is making headway
in the talks with ASUU.
