Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Government on Wednesday in Abuja expressed the hope that the one-month warning strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on February 14, would soon be over.<\/p>\n

ASUU called its members out on the warning strike to compel the Federal Government to address their demands, some of which had been lingering since 2009.<\/p>\n

Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen. Chris Ngige, expressed the hope of truncation of the warning strike when he spoke with newsmen at the end of a conciliation meeting between the government and the union.<\/p>\n

Ngige said the meeting agreed on many issues and a timeline was scheduled for the implementation of the agreements.<\/p>\n

According to him, ASUU officials agreed to return to their members with offers made by the government and revert to him before the week runs out.<\/p>\n

He noted that many of the items in the 2020 Memorandum of Action (MOA) had been dealt with exhaustively, while some were being addressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have only one or two areas that are new. One of the new areas is the renegotiation of the Conditions of Service, which is called the `2009 Agreement\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn agreement was reached in 2009 that their Conditions of Service would be reviewed every five years. It was done in 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started one in which the former UNILAG Pro-Chancellor, Wale Babalakin (SAN), was chairing the committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter Babalakin, Prof. Manzali was in charge and the committee came up with a draft document, proposed by the Federal Ministry of Education and ASUU.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, Manzali\u2019s committee has become defunct because many of the people in the committee are no longer pro-chancellors,\u201d the minister explained.<\/p>\n

Ngige said that a new team had been constituted to take a second look at that document.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is to make sure that some of the allowances are not against the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC) fixed rates for wages and allowances.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you propose allowances that do not comply with NSIWC rates, the government will not be able to accept it.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, it is important that they do the right thing from the beginning so that whatever the committee presents can be approved by the Federal Executive Council,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
