The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has said that a strike is not imminent, if the Federal Government implements the agreements reached, within two weeks.

Recall that the union had threatened to embark on nationwide strike over the non-implementation of agreements reached with the federal government.

Some of the demands include, the non-implementation of the 2009 re-negotiated agreements. Which had lingered for over six years and the government was yet to implement them.

President of ASUU, prof Emmanuel Osodeke, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, on Monday said: “At the meeting called by the Minister of Education, we agreed that after two weeks, we will meet to see the progress the government has made.

“We will also see what we will do next if the government fail to implement the agreements reached.

The meeting in the next two weeks is to see what they have done which will inform our decision,” Osodeke added.

On the issue of the revitalisation fund, ASUU president said they agreed on the Needs Assessment Report to raise N200 billion yearly, for five years.

“Since 2013, only one has been paid. We need revitalisation funds to upgrade our universities to standard so that we can have students and lecturers from outside the country.”

He added that the government was also yet to exit the university salary payment from the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System, as approved by the Federal Executive Council in January.
