The House of Representatives has presented a formal report to President Muhammadu Buhari, Tuesday evening, October 4th, on its intervention in the protracted strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, who made this known while speaking with newsmen after meeting with the President at the State House, Abuja, also expressed hope after the meeting, as the President promised to study the report and meet the legislators again.
According to him:
“We came here for one reason and one reason only; after a series of engagements with ASUU and with people on the executive side, we’ve been able to come to some kind of decision, on our part, and recommendations to be made to Mr. President for his approval.”
“As you know, what’s on the front burner today, beyond the politics, is our universities, our lectures, and our children who are out of school and the House of Representatives decided to step in at that point, four weeks ago.”
When asked if the House of Representatives had scheduled more meetings with ASUU, he said
“No, we’re done with our meetings with ASUU. We’ve made our reports and we’ve done our recommendations.”
“We wil have another meeting on Thursday, between our good selves and Mr. President, for his final decision”, he said.
