Asuu gives govt six new conditions end strike
It seems like you're referring to the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in Nigeria. According to recent reports, ASUU has given the government six new conditions that must be met before the strike can be called off.
Here are the six conditions:
- Renegotiation of the 2009 ASUU-FG Agreement: ASUU is demanding a renegotiation of the 2009 agreement between the union and the federal government, which covers issues such as funding, staff welfare, and academic autonomy.
- Release of N30 billion Revitalization Fund: The union is seeking the release of the N30 billion revitalization fund promised by the government to revamp the university system.
- Payment of Earned Academic Allowances (EAA): ASUU wants the government to pay the outstanding EAA owed to its members, which amounts to N40 billion.
- Implementation of the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS): The union is demanding the implementation of UTAS, a new payment platform designed to replace the current Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).
- Withdrawal of the National Information Technology Development Fund (NITDF) Bill: ASUU is opposing the NITDF Bill, which it believes will undermine the autonomy of universities and compromise their academic freedom.
- Establishment of Visitation Panels to Universities: The union is demanding the establishment of visitation panels to universities to ensure that they are properly governed and managed.
If these conditions are not met, ASUU has threatened to continue the strike, which has already entered its fifth month. The strike has had a significant impact on the academic calendar, with many students unable to attend classes or complete their studies.
