by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, is becoming a
political action other than an agitation for the welfare of university
lecturers.
Suswam, who spoke yesterday, when he played host to the leadership of
the National Union of Benue Students, NUBES, insisted that the
leadership of ASUU was not being realistic with its demands.
According to him, "ASUU has no business continuing with this strike
because the Federal Government has met virtually all of their demands.
There is nothing in the list of their demands that government has not
touched.
The Federal government has released N100 billion to upgrade
infrastructures in the universities and that money has been
distributed among all the universities in the country and most of them
have commenced their procurement process. While the sum of N30 billion
has also been released to take care of the Earned Allowances of
lecturers in federal universities, pending the verification of the
number of those that are entitled to it."
