Have ASUU strike been called off? No. I know a lot of students in Nigerian universities want to resume school. You are tired of washing plates and all other chores at home right?lol. 
    Here's the later st development. Just take a quick sip and enjoy.

     Lectures are yet to reach a resulolution with the federal government on their demands, says professor Biodun Ogunyemi, the Nation president of the ASUU.
 But when will this strike be called off? I thought the Union threw out a deal in an attempt to end the strike? You ask, just read on.
No agreement has been reached and we didn't reject any deal reached with the government.what was given to us was a proposal of our demands and proposals are not the same as agreement.proposals was made by the federal government and  given to us and we said we will take the proposal to our members. What has been happening in the last one week was to consult with our members and we still let the ministry of labour and employment know about the report of our consultation. 
   Now we will meet in Monday (last) to discuss the positions.
    I thought almost all the demands of ASUU has been discussed with the government. Then what are the controversial aspects. Read on.
   We discussed three major issues and the first is on under for revitalization which is the key to our struggle. It is with this fund hat university's laboratories, libraries and classrooms are refurnished. So, this ongoing strike cannot be suspended with nothing to show for all our efforts in terms of making our environments conducive for us.
    N20 billion naira in two in two installments was proposed by the government and we said that us not ; five tranches of N220 billion are pending and what our members are saying is that federal government should at least release in tranche, that is one installment. To show as a sign of commitment, they should release N50 billion naira immediately. 
    So if N50 billion naira can be released immediately, then we can now spread the balance over the next three quarters of this year. This is he way we reported about revitalisation of universities to the government.
   The second area in the three major issues discussed is that of the payment of the Earned Academic Allowances (EAA) and for this the government promised to relaase N20 billion naira and we said the money should he strictly for ASUU members. Government should be strictly for ASUU members. And if that money is for ASUU members, government should tell us how to pay the balance as indicated in the report of the Government Committee on Forensic Audit.
Government said they will pay in four installments but the installments have no timeline; government should give timeline and the amount that will be released at each installment.
Another issue discussed is that government should stop the payment of academic allowances from falling into arrears. Government promised in 2017 that they will mainstream it into the budget but that wasn’t done. We are saying that the compilation of 2019 budget is ongoing; government should include the EAA in the budget so we won’t come back in 2020 to restart talks about arrears of EAA.
The third area we are trying to iron out is shortfall in salaries. Government promised to pay salary arrears on Saturday 18th of January, 2019 and we are still waiting to see the evidence of payment. There were three universities that were omitted and we are drawing government attention to those universities and we hope they will address them alongside others.
Those are the three controversial areas that we are waiting to be implemented and then there are issues related to our pension fund administrators. We have done the final inspection and we are hoping that government will do the right thing as promised.
Many people say the striking lecturers aren’t considering the future of students and the concerns parents have for their kids. What’s your reaction to these?
Don’t forget that ASUU members are also parents, but what we are doing now is that we are making a sacrifice for students to secure their future. We are sacrificing our today so that our children can have public universities that they can be proud of in the future. Those of us who are struggling now, went to public universities and if students are lucky to be in those universities they should also support us in defending the universities from collapsing.
The trouble we are making is that we don’t want a situation in which our universities would collapse just like our primary and secondary schools have collapsed. That is the context from which we want people to appreciate the ASUU struggle. This is because public primary and secondary teachers were not supported to defend the schools. We have lost them; we don’t want a situation in which we will all be ashamed to send our children to public universities. So, the sacrifice is for the future of our children.
Going by the proposal you have, are we likely to see the strike end anytime soon? 
The strike will end when government addresses our minimalist proposal send to it. We have reduced what we proposed drastically, what we propose now is a far cry from where we started. So, government must address this proposal that we have before it in order to pave way for the suspension of the strike action. Unless it does so, we cannot go back to our members to prevail on them to consider other positions than where we are. We enjoin Nigerians to help us appeal to government to do what is necessary to fix Nigerian universities
