The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal,
Thursday declared that the Parliament was ready to amend any portion of
the nation’s law to grant any request of appropriations from the
Executive Arm of Government to accommodate the demands and end the
lingering strike of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). This followed the presentation of the investigative report presented
by the House Committee on Education on the floor of the House.
Tambuwal advised the all concerned parties in the strike to
reconsider their positions in the interest of the students and the
future of education in the country. The Speaker said that the House would not hesitate to honour any
requests from the Executive Arm of government to help meet the demands
of the ASUU where necessary.
His Words: “Once again, we call on ASUU and the Federal Government,
in this case the Executive Arm of government to please, quickly bring
the matter an end. And if there is any need for further appropriations
to be made or any law to be amended to meet any of these conditions, the
House of Representatives is faithfully ready to expeditious address
such requests. Please, we need our students back to their respective
schools. I so plead.”
