ASUU Strike Update: ASUU Gives condition to Call Off Strike.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has given three
conditions to be tabled before President Goodluck Jonathan today
(Monday). If the terms are acceptable to the Federal Government, the
union will call off the strike.

According to a source, who was part of the ASUU session at Mambayya
House in Kano, the conditions are:
*commitment from the President that any review or reconsideration or
renegotiation of the 2009 Agreement will not substantially affect the
pact which is the cause of the ongoing strike;
*Immediate payment of all outstanding salary arrears and allowances of
varsity teachers without victimization; and
* A written commitment from the President that the Federal Government
will commit N225billion annually to the funding of universities for
the next four years.
There is a fourth condition, which is said to be "personal" to ASUU.

Meanwhile several schools have long pulled out from the five months
strike and have called for resumption. Schools include:

The Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), Ondo State
became at the weekend the third institution to break ranks with the
striking union.
It asked its students to return to the campus today. Lecture are to
start on December 2, according to the Registrar, Mr. Bamidele Olotu.

Enugu State University of Technology (ESUT), Enugu, and the Ibrahim
Badamosi University (IBBU), Lapai, in Niger State had earlier
directed the reopening of the schools.
The registrar directed students to begin their registration on the
school portal immediately.
