Shelve Strike Action, Senate Tells ASUU

The Senate Committee on Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), has called on the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to immediately shelve the ongoing strike action which commenced on Monday this week.
This was just as the committee blamed the union for failing to revert to‎ the Senate to formally lodge its complains before embarking on strike.
Briefing journalists Wednesday in Abuja, Chairman of the committee, Senator Jibrin Barau, said the senate would actively get involved by monitoring to see that all concerns raised by the union are subsequently addressed.
He added that contrary ‎to speculations, the senate committee had made provisions for the payment of allowances owed members of the union by the federal government.
