ASUU: Buhari’s budget for 2023 includes an N470 billion varsity revitalization fund. The president added that universities should not only rely on government funding but also look for other sources of funding.
Funding for the revitalization of public universities is one of the demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), which has been on strike since February.
Mr. Buhari urged the lecturers on strike to take into account the nation’s current economic situation and return to the classroom while presenting the N20.15 trillion 2023 budget estimates to the joint session of the National Assembly on Friday.
The president added that universities should not only rely on government funding but also look for other sources of funding.
This new development comes shortly after the Court of Appeal required the academic union to immediately end its ongoing strike before granting its request to appeal a related National Industrial Court decision.
The court granted ASUU’s request under the condition that the union abides by the lower court’s decision and ends the strike right away while the merits of the substantive lawsuit are being resolved.
