The meeting between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) ended in a deadlock on Wednesday.

The union and Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige led delegation failed to agree on the payment platform to be used in disbursing the salary arrears and the N30bn Earned Allowance of the university lecturers.

 

 

According to reports, the Federal Government offered to pay the salary arrears and the N30bn Earned Allowances of the university lecturers through the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) platform pending the roll-out of ASUU’s preferred platform, the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS).

 

 

 

However, the ASUU delegation led by National President, Prof Biodun Ogunyemi, insisted that the payment by the Federal Government should be made through the UTAS.

 

 

 

Following the failure to reach a consensus, the parties agreed to consult their respective principals and stakeholders.

 

 

 

They are to reconvene next week Wednesday

      1. Why does Nigerian government never like to do any thing in d right way why not they just they agree wit ASUU so that lots of universities can resume.

      1. Ok I think that There are three issues and these include the revitalisation fund where government offered ASUU N20 billion, on good faith based on the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) entered into in 2013 as a result of the renegotiation with the then government in 2009.

    177. There is need to reach an agreement because of what is happening in the country, stealing, rioting, killing on the high side. Let us have it in mind the this statement has not change,”An Idlehand is the devil’s workshop”. Please, let us be conscious of this.

  13. I wish the government can agree to the ASSU’s term but they are also suppose to go and allow federal govt use their fund for other amenities

  23. I wish the government can agree to the ASSU’s term but they are also suppose to go and allow federal govt use their fund for other amenities, however, let every payment be done as usual.
