The Nigerian Government has breached a section of an agreement it signed last year to end a five-month old strike by university lecturers on December 17, the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has alleged.
ASUU National Treasurer, Ademola Aremu, speaking on behalf of Dr. Nassir Fagge, the union's president on Friday in Ibadan said part of the agreement reached with Federal Government was that the government would pay N20 billion at the start of each quarter to cater for areas of needs identified in the needs assessment carried on universities.
“This is February and the government is yet to release the money for the quarter,” Mr. Aremu said.
He said the union had to start raising the alarm now to avoid the embarrassment the last strike caused the nation and its education system.
