SARAKI, CHALLENGED OVER ASUU STRIKE.

Nigerian lawmakers have mandated the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, to promptly intervene on behalf of the Federal Government to dialogue with ASUU, Following the threats issued by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to embark on a nationwide industrial action.

The Senate equally commended ASUU for choosing dialogue over confrontation in its approach and promised that proper funding of universities would be put into the 2017 Budget.

This followed a Point of Order raised by Senator Jibrin Barau of Kano North during the plenary on Tuesday, where he told lawmakers that he “heard that ASUU has given notice of one week industrial action.”

Senator Barau led motion on the urgent matter of national importance, regarding the impending ASUU strike, pointing out that ASUU is agitating for the smooth operations of Nigerian universities and staff welfare.

Barau also reminded the Senate of the non-implementation of several agreements between FG and ASUU.

A lawmaker representing Gombe Central, Senator Danjuma Goje, who supported the motion, reminded the Senate of the problems that Nigerian undergraduates undergo when lecturers go on strike, and charged the Nigerian Senate to rise to the occasion so as to avoid the impending industrial strike action of ASUU.

Senate Leader, Ali Ndume, in his comment, also maintained that the Senate, as a stabilizing arm, should immediately intervene to avoid the strike.

The Senate President therefore commended Senator Jibrin Barau for the urgent matter of national importance and promised prompt intervention.

Charles Odunukwe, Foundation and Chairman Chardon Foundation and the Vice President-General Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Worldwide. These outlined questions form the basis of the following article that puts you on the know of a less perceived strong smell of a genius who has crossed and dotted his Ts and Is respectively in the events of human development and economic empowerment. One can attest to the fact that one of the factors that propagate a person with goodwill is Benevolence. Which in terms of human relation, charitable kindness, altruistic gifts, little wonder the saying that it does not matter how long one lives on earth rather what matters is the achievement he or she had instituted before going the way of all flesh and mortals.
