He also said , “there are issues to be addressed but unfortunately, ASUU have gone on strike and he is looking forward to them because all the issues are being addressed, the committee looked at Federal Government demands and there are renegotiations going on. They submitted a draft agreement a committee is looking at and immediately it finishes , government is meant to announce what it has accepted. Suddenly, I heard that the union are going on strike. He also said “they want a peaceful resolution”.

The Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu said the reason he said he was surprised that ASUU had gone on strike was that the Federal Government is ready to meet them on all issues they have raised , so I think the fault is not government . He said the solution to this is negotiations.

He said he wouldn’t know whether the Government can reach an agreement before the end of the 30-days warning strike with ASUU. Since, he’s not the only one, he can’t reach an agreement with ASUU but he is certain they will reach an agreement soon.

We visited Adamu last week and told him what would likely happen – ASUU

Responding, Osodeke said the FG did not reach out to ASUU despite paying Adamu a visit on Thursday last week.

He stated, “We were with Adamu Adamu on Thursday (February 10). Why will he be saying he was looking for us? We went to his personal house to tell him about our meeting, and we told him what was likely going to happen so why is he saying he is looking for us? Ask him whether we were with him on Thursday.

“He didn’t tell us anything about renegotiation. If we were with him on Thursday, and we took decision on Sunday, is it not two day difference but nothing from them.”

Speaking on the implication of the government not getting in touch with ASUU, Osodeke added, “We have 30 days and whatever they want to do, we are waiting for them. They don’t have to wait for 30 days, they can solve it in one day or two days. What is he saying about renegotiation? How can one person be saying they are renegotiating without the second party? Is renegotiation not between two people?”

A quota system minister presiding over the nation's educational institution is terrible. The National Assembly should make a law to the effect that, the President cannot appoint someone to that ministry short of the rank of a Professor....simple!
