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 the all
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.”(Naij.com)
