ASUU strike called off!; congratulations to all university students, just about an hour ago the ASUU chairman broke the announcement, which is considered a big one for all university students. After calling off the strike, the media went ahead to ask if the federal government has met the demands of ASUU. Out of dismay,the ASUU chairman shook his head and said he was disappointed with the media more than he his with the FG, saying the media formed a deaf ear to the strike, that an average Nigerian does not know that universities are on strike. He condemned the medias lack of publicity. After expressing his anger he went ahead to say that the Government is doing nothing concerning our demands, even after a closed door meeting with the education minister where the President said he has so many issues to deal with now than to start spending more money on universities. After the meeting however, the chairman of the newly formed party ACP called the chairman of ASUU to a meeting with ACN, CPC, and the AFGAN governor who promised ASUU that they would give ear to ASUUs demand and will do more- one of which every student will be given a bursary award which is to cover 50% of every student fee, that is, for spending 5 years in the universities. 2 years fee would be paid by FG, and every student who graduates with first class would stand a chance to do their masters in canada, while those with lower credit and pass would continue their study in South Africa and Ghana respectively. Also, salary of VCs would be increased by 90%. After this meeting, the ASUU chairman called off the strike asking all students to resume at their various schools on the first week of June 2015, that about 2 years time, of course after voting in ACP. Its so sad that you sat down and read all this poo, that means you are as jobless as I am. Mehn, go find work. This strike would last more than we thought.
