STRIKE: WE ARE STILL CONSULTING - ASUU PRESIDENT



The national leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has said it is still consulting on what its reply will be to the offers the Federal Government made for it to end its eight-month-old strike.

The National President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, said this on Tuesday in a chat with Vanguard.

According to him, the consultation is with members across the country and other critical stakeholders.

“We have what the government is offering and have transmitted the same to our members nationwide and we are consulting on what the next line of action will be. You know a tree does not make a forest and our union is democratic in nature and practice.

“As for how long the consultation would take, I cannot say but it may go beyond this week. Whatever we decide on is definitely going to be in the national interest, the interest of our children, the interest of our members and the good of all, ” he said.

Recall that after a series of meetings the leadership of the union held with the government team led by the Minister of Labour, Dr Chris Ngige, the government promised to pay the withheld salaries of lecturers ranging from four to eight months.

The government also said it would release N75 billion for the revitalisation of the system and the payment of Earned Academic Allowances.

This was disclosed in their official Twitter handle.

  Elma dos Santos Aveiro, Cristiano Ronaldo's sister, has published a controversial photo of Lionel Messi kneeling at the feet of the Portuguese forward after Juventus' resounding 3-0 win against Barcelona in the Champions League. The photo received over 34,650 likes on Instagram in one day, and she had a positive message for Cristiano. "My King. The best ever. Pride of my life," Aveiro wrote. This is not the first time that the 47-year-old Aveiro has been active on social media with regard to her younger brother. In August 2020 she claimed that Cristiano was left to do everything for Juventus. "You did it better than anyone else, I'm proud to see you play and see your dedication, but unfortunately you can't do it all by yourself - it's impossible!" Aveiro wrote. "You know football is like that, but you also have to think that you did your best and you are still the best." Two months prior to that message, in June 2020, she criticised M...
