Unlike the Senate which has dismissed the agreement between the Federal Government and the striking Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) as unrealistic, the House of Representatives is ready to approve a budgetary intervention to end the dispute.
During a debate on the strike in the upper legislative chamber on Wednesday, Senate President David Mark said that government officials who approved the agreement to meet ASUU’s demands were ignorant.
The Speaker, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, who was briefed by the Aminu Suleiman-led House Committee on Education tasked to investigate the conflict, specifically appealed to both parties to consider the interest of the students and the educational future of the nation above all other considerations.
He said the parliament was willing to approve a request for funds for ASUU with a view to speedily resolving the crisis which, according to him, has dragged on for too long.
