Due to the huge financial obligation being demanded by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the presidency has indicated the federal government might not be able to meet up with the demands.
Shehu said the union leaders were aware of the fact that the Muhammadu Buhari administration inherited the agreements based on which the strike was declared.
The President’s spokesman said this in an interview on Channels T,V, Sunrise Daily.
While reminding the academic union that the FG had set up a committee on the matter, Shehu regretted that they decided to uphold mark on stroke at a time they were expected to sit down and negotiate with the committee.
On the impossibility of meeting the huge financial obligation by government, Shehu said, “Governments enter into agreements that they can pay for. Ability to pay is a key requirement in going into agreements.
“Since President Buhari assumed office, he has sent words out there in form of a warning to all government institutions that ‘please do not go into negotiations and agreements that you cannot pay for. Get the clearance.’
