should go back to classrooms immediately after it
said it had disbursed the sum of N30 billion for
earned academic allowances.
The directive which was given by the secretary to
the government of the federation, Sen Anyim Pius
Anyim, during a meeting between the federal
government and the vice-chancellors of the 61
public universities, stated that "Government,
hereby, urges every staff of the nation's
universities to return to work as all issues are
being resolved."
Speaking on the N92billion earned allowances,
Anyim said:
Staff of the universities that is so entitled should
verify his claim with the university council and
accordingly get paid as "from the foregoing, it is
obvious that government has demonstrated
sufficient commitment to the implementation of
the 2009 FG/ASUU agreement.
"After series of discussions, government has now
provided N30 billion to support the university
councils in settling the earned allowances. The
amount will be disbursed to the various university
councils which are in the position to know who is
entitled to how much after verification."
He revealed that "Traditionally, universities pay
this to deserving staff but because of the amount
which ASUU now claims as arrears, government
has decided to assist the university councils to
pay" as government did not receive any
computation of amount involved until February,
2013.
"By this computation, ASUU is claiming N92 billion
as arrears for three year's payment based on
percentage rage of between 15 and 20 per cent of
personnel cost."
While there was consensus that revitalising the
tertiary institutions is of critical importance to the
nation, Anyim noted that "when put together, the
amount of funds from the budgetary and non-
budgetary sources that goes into the sector is
quite huge but without corresponding impact."
OluFamous.Com gathered that ASSU has resolve
to continue the on-going strike until all
agreements signed in 2009 are reached.
