The Federal Government has ordered vice-chancellors to re-open schools and allow students resume lectures with immediate effect.
The order was given by the National Universities Commission (NUC) through a letter signed by the Director, Finance and Accounts of the NUC, Sam Onazi, on behalf of the Executive Secretary of the commission, Professor Abubakar Rasheed.
The letter which was seen on Monday by The DailyNewswave, was addressed to all vice-chancellors; Pro-Chancellors and chairmen of governing councils of federal universities.
“Ensure that ASUU members immediately resume/commence lectures; Restore the daily activities and routines of the various University campuses”, the letter partly reads.
The directives is coming barely one week after the National Industrial Court ordered ASUU to call off the strike and return to classroom.
