Nigerian govt never signed any agreement with ASUU — Minister


The federal government says it never signed any agreements with
the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

 

The Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, made this
clarification on Thursday, while speaking with newsmen in Abuja, insisting that
the documents being referenced were merely proposals.

 

Alausa stated that both the 2009 and 2011 documents often
cited by ASUU as binding agreements were never signed, but only proposals
presented during negotiations.

 

The minister also maintained that the administration of
President Bola Tinubu was, however, committed to resolving lingering issues
with the university lecturers’ union.

 

“The documents ASUU has been referring to as agreements were
just proposals that were never signed,” Alausa stated.

 

He dismissed reports that he scheduled a meeting with ASUU
and the Minister of Labour and Employment, describing them as inaccurate.
