RESUMPTION DATE: ASUU SAYS NO RESUMPTION UNTIL THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 2009 AGREEMENT

        STRIKE UPDATE (as at March 8): 
"There will be no resumption until FG Implement 2009 Agreement", ASUU Insists.

Nigeria’s minister of education, Adamu Adamu, on Monday, gave a three-month deadline to the newly inaugurated committee saddled with the responsibility of renegotiating the 2009 agreement between the government and the university workers’ unions.

The Unions include the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), Non-Academic Staff Union of Education and Associated Institutions (NASU), and the National Association of Academic Technologists.

This comes as the leadership of ASUU insists the ongoing three-week-old nationwide strike will continue until “whatever the government wants to do with the agreement is completed and an acceptable implementation commences.”

Mr. Adamu, who spoke during the inauguration of the renegotiation committee in Abuja, said he expected the exercise to be concluded within three months(at least) and produce a draft document.

The minister said the committee is expected to review the draft 2009 agreements and negotiate with the university-based unions including SSANU, NAAT, and NASU.

Listing the terms of reference for the committee, the minister said: “Liaise and consult with relevant stakeholders to finalize the position of the Federal Government to the issues in the draft proposed FGN/ASUU Renegotiated Agreement;

“Renegotiate in realistic and workable terms the 2009 Agreements with other University-Based Unions; Negotiate and recommend any other issue the Committee deems relevant to reposition the NUS for global competitiveness and submit proposed draft agreements within three (3) months from the date of inauguration.”

Now the topic of debate to most readers of this blog is : 
"what was the 2009 unattended agreement"?
"why is ASUU so concerned and emphasizing on the it's implementation"?

Stick around, you'll know in the next post🙂
Thanks for your time...⚡
