The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said
their industrial action will end immediately if the federal government
addresses their concerns.
ASUU President, Emmanuel Osodeke, stated this while speaking
on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday night.
Osodeke claimed an agreement had been reached with the
government, but it has not been signed.
According to him, ASUU’s insistence on using their own
generated payment platform, University Transparency Accountability Solution
(UTAS), is a key demand.
“As far as ASUU is concerned, the strike can end tomorrow.
“We have finished the negotiation. If the government calls
us now to come and sign the agreement, we will be there tomorrow.
“Let the government tell us they have finished testing the
UTAS and we have accepted it, then we will call off the strike.
“When will they sign the agreement? When will they accept
UTAS? Those are the two questions we should ask the Nigerian government,”
Osodeke said.
