FG ORDERS VICE CHANCELLORS TO REOPEN VARSITIES, COMMENCE LECTURES

The Federal Government through the National Universities Commission has ordered vice-chancellors to re-open schools and allow students resume lectures.

 This was made known in a letter signed by the Director, Finance and Accounts of the NUC, Sam Onazi, on behalf of the Executive Secretary of the commission, Professor Abubakar Rasheed.

 The letter which was made exclusively available to Correspondents on Monday was addressed to all vice-chancellors; Pro-Chancellors and chairmen of governing councils of federal universities.

You will recall, ASUU has been on strike since February 14  pressing home the demand for improved funding for universities, a review of salaries for lecturers, among other issues.

Several meetings between ASUU and the Federal Government have ended in a deadlock.

Consequently, the Federal Government went to court to challenge the strike.
