A statement jointly signed by the SSANU President, Mohammed Ibrahim, and NASU Secretary General, Peters Adeyemi, commended members for the “massive and comprehensive strike”. “I hate to say and with a very heavy heart, if it means shutting down the system again, once our organs sanctions it, we will do it. This time around, it will be like never before.”Both Mr Ibrahim and the President of NAAT, Ibeji Nwokema, during the stakeholders’ forum of Sunday, said though they met with the Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, a professor, and the Minister of State for Education, Yusuf Sununu, among other government officials, there were no resolutions reached.
“Nothing has been achieved at that meeting except the optimism that something will be done. But as far as we are concerned, we have not seen the money, payments have not been made,” he added. “We had a stakeholder’s meeting. The minister of education was present, the acting executive secretary of NUC was present, all the Vice Chancellors of Universities and Inter Universities centres were present and all the unions were present and I quote the minister of education. He said clearly in that meeting that the payment will cut across the board. That the payment was meant for everybody,” Mr Nwokema said during the EWAN virtual conversation on Sunday.
