Universities Wont Embark on Strike Again, Tinubu Declares
President Bola Tinubu has cancelled the controversial deduction of 40 per cent of Internally Generated Revenues (IGRs) from federal universities across the country to avert crisis.
He disclosed this while speaking at the 33rd convocation ceremony of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA).
Tinubu expressed the hope that the cooperation of the unions with the federal government would ensure the needed educational development in the country.
The president has said his administration will take all necessary actions to ensure that universities do not embark on strike actions again.
Tinubu has also had constructive dialogue and negotiation should be prioritised over actions that negatively impact the welfare and future of Nigerian students.
He added that the federal government was willing to establish synergy with all the academic unions within universities in the country as well as exhaust all avenues for dialogue before any strike actions.
