The PUNCH had on Friday reported that the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs Zainab Ahmed, at the meeting on Thursday, said 96,090 out of the 137,016 university lecturers in the federal universities across the country had already joined the scheme.She was said to have stated that only 30 per cent of lecturers were still opposing the policy, but ASUU was reported to have contradicted her.
“The zonal meeting will be holding at the OOU, Ago Iwoye. After the zonal meeting, we are likely going to hold our congress on Thursday to brief all members.” He disclosed that the zone comprised the UNN, Enugu State University of Science and Technology, the Benue State University, the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi; the Federal University of Lokoja, Kogi State, and the Federal University of Wukari, Taraba State.
