The latest news coming your way on ASUU strike is that the
FG is set to open Nigerian Universities with or without ASUU, according to
ScanNews Nigeria.
President Goodluck Jonathan will on Monday, November 4, meet
with the leadership of ASUU at the Presidential Villa.
An official of the Vice President’s office who pleaded
anonymity told Scan News that all hands are now on deck to ensure that the
Universities resume next week.
The President will at next Monday’s meeting present to the
ASUU leadership the administration’s last concession for them to call off the
prolonged strike.
A source at the Presidential Villa noted that if ASUU fails
to call off, the Federal Government will then resort to plan B, which will be
to compulsorily open the Universities, using the instrumentality of the
governing councils and the school managements.
Already, most of the governing councils of the Universities
have started meeting to work out modalities for the compulsory re-opening of
the Universities should ASUU fail to honour the personal request of President
Jonathan.
It was gathered that security report available to the
Presidency may have necessitated this line of action to salvage the
Universities system from the direction it is facing at present.
