ASUU: FG Ready To Meet ASUU Demands

* The Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal,
Thursday declared that the Parliament was
ready to amend any portion of the nation’s
law to grant any request of appropriations
from the Executive Arm of Government to
accommodate the demands and end the
lingering strike of the Academic Staff Union
of Universities (ASUU).
This followed the presentation of the investigative
report presented by the House Committee on
Education on the floor of the House.
Tambuwal advised the all concerned parties in the
strike to reconsider their positions in the interest
of the students and the future of education in the
country.
The Speaker said that the House would not
hesitate to honour any requests from the
Executive Arm of government to help meet the
demands of the ASUU where necessary.
His Words: “Once again, we call on ASUU and the
Federal Government, in this case the Executive
Arm of government to please, quickly bring the
matter an end. And if there is any need for further
appropriations to be made or any law to be
amended to meet any of these conditions, the
House of Representatives is faithfully ready to
expeditious address such requests. Please, we
need our students back to their respective
schools. I so plead.”
