Release our N25bn, ASUU tells FG

ASUU President, Prof Biodun Ogunyemi, made the demand during a valedictory lecture and book presentation by the former Vice-Chancellor of Michael Okpara University, Umudike, Prof Ikenna Onyido, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, on Saturday.However, Ogunyemi denied reports they were planning to embark on strike over the matter.

He said, “ASUU has not said it is going on strike. What we said was the reported N25bn the Federal Government said it had approved, we’ve not seen it. “When we signed the Memorandum of Action with government on February 7, we agreed that by February 28, the N25bn would be released, and government signed it. We have yet to see it three months after.“That’s why we’re saying that government has defaulted and if our members come up with any decision because government has defaulted, the leadership can’t stop them. That’s the challenge we have.

“We’re only calling on Nigerians to prevail on government to make good its promises and not just to tell us about paper release. Let’s see the actual release.”All rights reserved.

As ASUU continues to wait, ASUU please learn from self sustaining universities like the IVY LEAGUE. Know what I mean? Engage the youths under your care and stop complaining.

The money has been released to you guys for a job weldone Feb 2023. Forgotten?

After helping the FG to rig the just concluded election!

I think ASSU to meet all the Prof. of the INEC returning officers and collect the 25b from them. All of them have more than that from the just concluded rigged election.

Next time I believe ASUU will not call off strike based on paper promises from this type of govt.

oluwaloninyo A governemnt who cannot give 25bilion to solve an age long tertiary education crisis but is very quick to give 100b to Fulani herdsmen to continue terrorizing Nigerians.
