Asuu strike called off

Congratulations to all university students, just about an hour ago the ASUU chairman broke the announcement, which was considered a big one for all university students. After calling off the strike, the media went ahead to ask if the federal government has met the demands of ASUU. Out of dismay,the ASUU chairman shook his head and said he was disappointed with the media more than he his with the FG, saying the media formed a deaf ear to the strike, that the average Nigerian does not know that universities were on strike. He condemned the media's lack of publicity. After expressing his anger he went ahead to say that "the Government is doing nothing concerning our demands", even after a closed door meeting with the education minister where the President said he has so many issues to deal with now than to start spending more money on universities. After the meeting however, the chairman of the newly formed party APC called the chairman of ASUU to a meeting with ACN,CPC, and the APGA governors who promised ASUU that they would give ear to ASUU's demand and will do more- one of which was every student been given a bursaryaward which is to cover 50% of every student's fees, that is, for spending 5 years in the universities. 2 years fee would be paid by the FG,and for any student who graduates with a first class would stand a chance to do their masters in canada, while those with lower credit and pass would continue their studies in South Africa and Ghana respectively. Also,the salaries of VC's would be increased by 90%. After this meeting,the ASUU chairman called off the strike asking all students to resume their various schools on the first week of June 2015, that's about 2 years, of course after voting in APC. Its so sad that you sat down and read all this poo, that means you are as jobless as I am. Men, go find work. This strike would last more than we thought.
