Minister of State for Education, Mr
Nyesom Wike gave the directive and
also asked the vice-chancellors to
ensure that staff who resume for work
are provided with the enabling
environment to carry out academic
activities.
He added that any staff who failed to
resume on or before December 4, 2013
automatically ceases to be a staff of the
institution and that vice-chancellors are
allowed to advertise vacancies for their
positions in their institution.
Mr Wike further said that the Federal
Government has come to the conclusion
that the continued industrial action is an
attempt by the Academic Staff Union of
Universities to sabotage all efforts to
address the issues, despite the
commitment of government.
As a responsible government it cannot
allow the continuous closure of public
institutions as this poses danger to the
education system and the future of
Nigerian youths.
The National Universities Commission
(NUC) has been directed to ensure
compliance of the directives by the
various institutions.
