The Federal Government has denied reneging on the Memorandum of
Understanding reached with the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
The National Treasurer of ASUU, Dr. Ademola Aremu, had told
journalists in Ibadan on Saturday that the Federal Government had yet
to release the N55bn for the first quarter as contained in the
agreement.
In an interview, Simeon Nwakaudu, who is the Special Assistant (Media)
to the Minister of education, Nyesom Wike, said, "It is not true.
Federal government is following the implementation of the agreement
and ASUUis part of the implementation monitoring committee.
"Funds are with the Universities; it is not ASUU that is implementing
it. The monies are paid to the respective Universities which are
implementing the agreement.
"The universities are doing their
procurement now for funds that have been released. When they conclude
their procurement, the next tranche will be released."
