Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Committee of Vice Chancellors of Nigerian Universities (CVCNU) has set up a team on the Federal Government (FG)-Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) face-off.<\/p>\n

Ex-Secretary-General and Team Co-coordinator, Prof. Michael Faborode spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Faborode said no serving VC or pro-chancellor is included in the peace body, adding that membership was based on the record of service.<\/p>\n

The members are Prof. Jibril Aminu, ex-VC, University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID); Emeritus Prof. Olufemi Bamiro, former VC, University of Ibadan (UI); Prof. Ekanem Braide, President, Academy of Science; Dr Nkechi Nwagogu, ex-Pro-Chancellor, University of Calabar (UNICAL); Prof. Fatima Mukhtar, ex-VC, Federal University, Dutse; Prof. Akpan Ekpo, ex-VC, University of Uyo (UNIUYO).<\/p>\n

Faborode noted that the scholars would no longer watch as \u201cour house collapse on us as elders.\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted that they had no industry other than the university system and were ready for talks.<\/p>\n

The professor said whatever can be done to broker peace, using the Prof. Nimi Briggs committee recommendations as the fulcrum, will be worth the effort.<\/p>\n

Faborode disclosed that the \u201cPeace Team of Elders\u201d would operate under the auspices of the CVCNU\/CPC.<\/p>\n

The coordinator said both the FG and ASUU are being reached to accept the intervention of the independent team.<\/p>\n
