Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>As the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike enters the sixth month in the night of July 14, the Federal Government says there\u2019s is no deal yet.<\/p>\n

ASUU has been on an industrial action since February 14, with tens of thousands of undergraduates out of universities.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the government declared there was no Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) awaiting President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s assent.<\/p>\n

Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige made the clarification in a statement by Olajide Oshundun, ministry\u2019s Deputy Director, Press and Public Relations.<\/p>\n

Ngige accused the President of ASUU, Prof. Victor Osodeke and branch leaders of misinforming Nigerians.<\/p>\n

Ngige said when a CBA is produced between unions and the Federal Government, it is not the President that signs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no such CBA that has been reached between the Federal Government, ASUU and other university unions on the renegotiation of their salaries and allowances (wages).<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is in existence is a proposal. Even when such CBA is made, it is not the president that signs it. From available records, no Nigerian President or sovereign signs such\u201d, he explained.<\/p>\n

Ngige said ASUU\u2019s demand for better conditions of service \u2013 wages, salaries, allowances and other public service matters \u2013 would be guided by relevant government ministries and agencies.<\/p>\n

The minister listed the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Labour and Employment, Budget office of the Federation.<\/p>\n

Others include the National Salaries Income and Wages Commission, Office of Head of Service of the Federation, through the Prof. Nimi Briggs Committee.<\/p>\n

Ngige said the team just like the Prof. Munzali Committee it replaced, is an internal committee of the Ministry of Education to receive ASUU\u2019s demands and renegotiate the 2009 Agreement.<\/p>\n
