Seemingly trying to avoid the past scenario whereby the FG claimed that those who signed the past agreement were " oyingbo traders", ASUU is insisting that all governmental bodies linked with funds and funding must sign the new agreement too. Lamzatblog hereby states that this is spurious and goes against the well known pinciple of Agency. It is trite that once a Principal signs in good faith, the contract becomes binding ab ini tio. For ASUU to be thinking along this line that the President cannot sign on behalf of the Nation smacks of ignorance.
This new demand from ASUU is laughable and very elementary. Erudite scholars are supposed to know more than this. We hereby urge them to retrace their steps and call off the strike immediately.
**Ministry of Education, labour, Central bank, national Assembly, office of the Presidency, NUC, TETF, TUC, NLC must sign the agreement.
The members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) after The president authorized the payment of N1.1 trillion has marshaled out conditions to be met by President Goodluck Jonathan before the strike is to be called off.
The new conditions, includes that all Federal parastatals in charge of fund, Labour, and Education must sign the agreement purportedly reached between its leadership and the Federal Government on Tuesday.
The ASUU leader said that government meeting the above condition, would give them the confidence that the Federal Government knows what it is doing when it signed the agreement.
He stated that since the Federal Government promised to release N220bn every year for five years (N1.1trillion), then all monetary and regulatory agencies must sign. The Central Bank of Nigeria, Ministries of Finance and Labour, National Assembly, Office of the Presidency, National Universities Commission, Tertiary Education Trust Fund, Trade Union Congress and our umbrella body, the Nigeria Labour Congress, must sign.
