ASUU STRIKE UPDATE: FG TO REOPEN UNIVERSITIES WITH OR WITHOUT ASUU.

President Goodluck Jonathan will on Monday, November 4, meet with the leadership of ASUU at the
Presidential Villa.
An official of the Vice President’s
office who pleaded anonymity told
Scan News that all hands are now on deck to ensure that the Universities resume this week.
The President will at next Monday’s meeting present to the ASUU leadership the administration’s last concession for them to call off the prolonged strike.
A source at the Presidential Villa
noted that if ASUU fails to call off,
the Federal Government will then
resort to plan B, which will be to
compulsorily open the Universities,
using the instrumentality of the
governing councils and the school
managements.
Already, most of the governing
councils of the Universities have
started meeting to work out
modalities for the compulsory re-
opening of the Universities should
ASUU fail to honour the personal
request of President Jonathan.
It was gathered that security report available to the Presidency may have necessitated this line of action to salvage the Universities system from the direction it is facing at present.
What do you think my fellow readers? Good idea or bad idea.
