ASUU strike: Reps promise supplementary budget to end protest

The House of Representatives, Thursday said that it was ready to approve a supplementary budget so that the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, could call off its ongoing strike.

Speaker, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal, made this known after the House was briefed on efforts by its Committee on Education to end the strike.
The speaker called on the Federal Government and the Union to quickly come to a compromise so students could go back to school.
He observed that the country would pay dearly for the lost academic time in the future if the strike was allowed to continue.
Tambuwal said, “Let me use this opportunity to appeal to both the Executive arm and the authorities of ASUU to please quickly resolve the problem.
“And if there is need for any appropriation, the House will expeditiously assent to it in the interest of our students and the nation.”
