An order has been given by the Federal Government to all vice-chancellors of universities to re-open schools and resume lectures.

This order is coming seven months after the lingering strike and the Federal Government suing the Academic Staff Union of Universities in court.

However, tired of the lingering strike the Federal Government through the National Universities Commission ordered vice-chancellors to re-open schools and allow students to resume lectures.

In a letter signed by the Director of Finance and Accounts of the NUC, Sam Onazi on behalf of the Executive secretary of the commission, Professor Abubakar Rasheed, which was made available to journalists on Monday FG instructed all vice-chancellors; Pro-Chancellors and chairmen of governing councils of Federal Universities to re-open schools.

Part of the letter read, “Ensure that ASUU members immediately resume/commence lectures; Restore the daily activities and routines of the various University campuses.”
