ABUJA – The Federal Government, Thursday, ordered all Vice-Chancellors of Federal Universities that are currently on strike to immediately reopen for academic and allied activities.

Supervising Minister of Education, Barr. Nyesom Wike stated this while briefing journalists in Abuja, on the latest on the 5 months strike.

He said it was rather unfortunate that after a 13 hour meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja on the 4th of November, 2013, three weeks after the meeting Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU came up with new conditions for them to call off the 5 months old strike.

He said it was obvious that the new conditions of ASUU was not in the interest of the nation.

The conditions that were given by ASUU included, that President Jonathan should facilitate  the endorsement of resolutions reached with him and must be signed by high ranking government official preferably the Attorney-General of the Federation but not a Permanent Secretary.
