The Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU) has said the Federal Government failed to make fresh offer
on funding, for the revitalisation of public universities in the country.
Also, the union stated that
government is yet to address the issue of renegotiation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU
Agreement, in its new offer made to the union on Monday.
This was disclosed by ASUU
president, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi, in a bulletin he sent to branches of the
union.
“At the meeting held on January
21, 2019 between the union and government agents (the Minister of Labour and
Employment and Representatives of relevant government agencies), government
improved its earlier offer.
“However, government has failed
to address the crucial issues of funding for the revitalisation of public
universities in Nigeria and renegotiation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement.
“To confuse the public about our
struggle, agents of government and some haters of our principled and purposeful
struggle are peddling all sorts of misinformation through various media.
Members must disregard any media information unverified or not authenticated by
the union,” Ogunyemi stated.
