“In
view of this, the union rose from its NEC meeting at the Bayero
University Kano observing that the particular issue of EAA cannot be
meaningfully addressed unless within an agreed framework. Hence the
National Executive Council (NEC) of ASUU resolved that all outstanding
arrears of EAA should be paid not later than July 2017.
“The
decision of ASUU-NEC on the issue has since been communicated to the
Minister of Education, Senate President and the Chairman, Senate
Committee on Tertiary Institutions and TETFund,’’ he said.
