The Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Aminu
Tambuwal, Thursday
declared that the Parliament
was ready to amend any
portion of the nation's law
to grant any request of
appropriations from the
Executive Arm of
Government to
accommodate the demands
and end the lingering strike
of the Academic Staff Union
of Universities (ASUU).
This followed the
presentation of the
investigative report
presented by the House
Committee on Education on
the floor of the House.
Tambuwal advised all the
concerned parties in the
strike to reconsider their
positions in the interest of
the students and the future
of education in the country.
The Speaker said that the
House would not hesitate to
honour any requests from
the Executive Arm of
government to help meet
the demands of the ASUU
where necessary.
His Words: "Once again, we
call on ASUU and the
Federal Government, in this
case the Executive Arm of
government to please,
quickly bring the matter an
end. And if there is any
need for further
appropriations to be made
or any law to be amended
to meet any of these
conditions, the House of
Representatives is faithfully
ready to expeditious
address such requests.
Please, we need our
students back to their
respective schools. I so
plead."
