Two days ago, the president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan engaged the Academic Staff Union of
Universities, ASUU, in a marathon 13-hour closed door meeting, in a bid to end
the union’s four-month old strike, it was gathered, yesterday, that
officials of the Federal Ministry of Education have been directed to
commence processes for the re-opening of federal universities.
Investigations revealed that
governing councils and vice chancellors of the universities have been
specifically directed, via direct communication from the National Universities
Commission, NUC, to take immediate steps to ensure that their institutions are
in the right position to receive students immediately the strike is called off.
Sources at the NUC said that the
vice-chancellors were also directed to protect the interest of students and
parents henceforth and ensure that no one takes advantage of the ugly
situation.
