The Federal government has made a move towards addressing one of the demands of the striking Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.
The government on Thursday announced the setting up of 21 panels to draft the whitepapers for the reports of visitations earlier sent to Nigerian tertiary institutions to review the activities of the various tertiary institutions across the country.
A statement made available to Journalists by Ben Goong, the Director, press and public relations at the ministry of education, stated that the education minister, Adamu Adamu, constituted 10 panels for 36 universities; six for 25 polytechnics, and five for 21 colleges of education.
The statement noted that the panels, to be inaugurated in the coming days, are given two weeks from the date of inauguration to submit their reports.
ASUU had requested that the government release whitepapers on the reports of the visitation panels constituted by President Muhammadu Buhari in April 2021 to visit 88 tertiary institutions across the country.
The Union lamented that many months after the submission of reports to the government it is yet to release the whitepapers.
While declaring its warning strike on Monday, ASUU demanded an immediate release of the whitepapers to address the lapses in the administration of federal universities.
The panels, which were constituted based on ASUU’s request, had submitted their reports to the education minister in August, 2021.
