Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to meet the demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).<\/p>\n

The group advised Buhari to redirect some of the presidency\u2019s N3.6 billion budget for feeding and travels, and the N134 billion allocated to the National Assembly for 2022 to ASUU.<\/p>\n

SERAP also called for the recovery of \u201cmissing N105.7 billion of public funds\u201d from ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) to fund public tertiary institutions.<\/p>\n

In a letter on July 2, Deputy Director, ERTAP, Kolawole Oluwadare said meeting ASUU\u2019s demands would address the inequality in educational opportunity.<\/p>\n

SERAP lamented that the government\u2019s failure to implement the agreement with the union has kept many students at home while the children of politicians attend private schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf people have access to education, they can develop the skills, capacity and confidence to secure other rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cEducation gives people the ability to access information detailing the range of rights that they hold, and government\u2019s obligations.\u201d<\/p>\n

SERAP urged the President to take action on its demand within seven days or face legal actions to compel the government to comply.<\/p>\n

ASUU accuses the government of poor funding and little commitment to the payment of academic earned allowance (EAA).<\/p>\n

Others are the continued use of the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS) and the refusal to adopt the Universities Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS).<\/p>\n
