Asuu;N600b offer wont be accepted.

Asuu Vs FG
The striking body of university teachers "asuu" last month rejected the additional N300b offer from the federal government,making it N600b total for the use of the body "asuu".
Previously ,more cash has been pledged for projects on the campuses. Besides, the earned allowances due to the teachers have been increased from the initial N30 billion offer, which the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) rejected. The teachers are insisting on the 2009 agreement, which they say President Goodluck Jonathan was part of. Besides, they say, they do not trust the government.,

The V.C of the federal university bayelsa,prof bolaji aluko,in a statement on the lingering matter,said the government has pledged to spend N200 billion on the universities in the 2014 budget and the same amount annually for the next three to four years, in addition to the N100 billion already made available this year, but which ASUU has rejected.

The national treasurer of "Asuu" Dr Ademola Aremu,have said it clear that the  latest offer by the FG is not up to what the body has being fighting for,that is not up to expectation at all,so they will keep on fighting till the agreement between the body and the FG is reached.
Asuu said in a momerandum that is not making any new demand, but a mere implementation of an agreement. They pointed out that the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by both parties in 2009 stated that the government would commit N1.5 trillion to the system in three years.
Lets keep on supporting the "asuu"
