RESOLUTIONS OF THE CONGRESS HELD ON TUESDAY, 23RD AUGUST, 2022 AT 11.00AM.

Congress was called to order at about 11.30am. Chairman commenced by thanking members
for their resilience and doggedness in pursuing the on-going strike action. He lamented
that it had not been this rough for the country in recent times. The agenda of the
congress was corrected to read as (i) Update on Strike (ii) AoB instead of what was on the
circulated notice of meeting.

Update on Strike

Congress noted that:

a) Principal Officers of the Union met with the Minister of Education who presented a
“Take it or leave it” offer to the Union. This offer was a far cry from the proposed
agreement submitted to government by Nimi Briggs-led Committee.

b) Government proposed to release one hundred and seventy (170) billion naira for
revitalization fund.

c) Government proposed to release two tranches of EAA as contained in the 2020 MoA.

d) The effective date of implementation of a-c above was proposed to be June,2023

after all the monetary implications have been captured in the 2023 budget.

Congress also noted that despite the results of the test on UTAS, U3PS and IPPIS where
UTAS emerged as the best of the three, government was still not willing to deploy UTAS
but instead, was busy setting up Technical Committee to review IPPIS. Government is also
dragging foot on the release of the white paper on Visitation Panel.
Resolutions
Congress resolved that:
i. members be more resolute in their support to the leadership of ASUU in the
prosecution of this action.
ii. the National Secretariat should be present on social media in order to engage the
young populace the more and educate them rightly.
iii. members should not participate in any statutory meeting of the University, and
especially A&PC during the on-going strike.
iv. NEC should be advised to roll over the ongoing strike into indefinite strike.

iii. Adjournment: Congress adjourned at about 1: 47pm.
