BREAKING: ASUU Strike "Will End Today" - Jonathan

There have been indications that after today's meeting between President Goodluck Jonathan and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the four month strike of the lecturers may finally end.

A closed-door meeting has started on Monday at 2:40 pm inside the First Lady Conference Room, Presidential Villa, Abuja.

It has in attendance the President, Vice President, Namadi Sambo; Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Pius Anyim; Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike; and Minister of Labour, Emeka Wogu among others.

The ASUU is presented by its Chairman, Dr. Nasir Isa Fagge, and its past presidents, Prof. Abdulahi Sule-Kano, Prof. Dipo Fashina and Prof. Festus Iyayi.

President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Abdulawahid Omar and that of the Trade Union Congress, Bobboi Kaigama, are also there.

While exchanging pleasantries with the ASUU delegation, President Jonathan stated:

Indication that the strike that is now into its 5th month may be resolved has emerged when the President stated, while shaking hands with members of the delegation,

"I hope this strike will end today. Our children have suffered enough. We must find a solution."

All those in attendance responded with a loud "amen."

It will be reminded, that ASUU has embarked upon an indefinite strike June 30, 2013. The lecturers protest against the FG’s failure to honour a 2009 agreement signed between it and ASUU in 2009 pertaining to issues of university funding and improvement of infrastructure in the sector. So far all the attempts to come to an agreement betwen the FG and ASUU have been fruitless.

The news was broken via his Facebook profile and via press release . Recently Snoop Lion has struggled to convince the Rastafari and Reggae community that he is sincere about his profession of, and transition to the faith, principles and beliefs of Rastafari.
