ASUU Strike: We Are Ready To Satisfy ASUU -FG
The Federal Government on Friday
inaugurated the University Needs Implementation Committee headed by
Governor Gabriel Suswam of Benue State.
The committee is to put in place appropriate requirements for learning in all tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
The Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim, said during the inauguration of the
committee in Abuja that the major needs of all federal universities.......
were
identified by an assessment committee earlier set up to “assess and
prioritise the needs of universities.”
According to him, the report submitted
by the Needs Assessment Committee mandates the inaugurated committee “to
interface with all agencies providing funding support to the
universities with the aim of appropriately channelling support to
identified priorities,”
The Federal Government had set up the
NAC to revitalise the physical infrastructure in the universities, with
the aim of enhancing the Internally Generated Revenue base of the
universities.
But the non-implementation of the report
has pitted the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Non-Academic Staff
Union and other trade unions in the nation’s universities against the
government.
Anyim said the committee’s terms of
reference included, “Simulating private sector investment into the
public universities, monitoring progress of the projects implementation
and produce quarterly reports for submission to the Federal Government
and, intervention in any other matter that may be necessary to achieve
the purpose of the Needs assessment.”
