The latest news coming your way on ASUU strike is that the FG is set to
open Nigerian Universities with or without ASUU, according to ScanNews
Nigeria.
President Goodluck Jonathan will on Monday, November 4, meet with the leadership of ASUU at the Presidential Villa.
An official of the Vice President’s office who pleaded anonymity told
Scan News that all hands are now on deck to ensure that the Universities
resume next week.
The President will at next Monday’s meeting present to the ASUU
leadership the administration’s last concession for them to call off the
prolonged strike.
A source at the Presidential Villa noted that if ASUU fails to call off,
the Federal Government will then resort to plan B, which will be to
compulsorily open the Universities, using the instrumentality of the
governing councils and the school managements.
Already, most of the governing councils of the Universities have started
meeting to work out modalities for the compulsory re-opening of the
Universities should ASUU fail to honour the personal request of
President Jonathan.
It was gathered that security report available to the Presidency may
have necessitated this line of action to salvage the Universities system
from the direction it is facing at present.
