until the agreement between them and the Federal government has been honored, the
Federal Government in a re-conciliatory move removed the ultimatum earlier placed on
lecturers to resume otherwise their appointments would be terminated. FG has
also provided proof of disbursement of N200billion to the educational trust account
which was one of the criteria earlier given by lecturers for resumption.
Addressing newsmen yesterday, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs,
Dr Doyin Okupe, showed a letter with reference number GVD/DGO/GEN/MP/05/151
which was addressed to the Auditor-General of the Federation and titled: “Confirmation of
the Execution of your Mandate for the Credit of Account No…Revitalization of Universities
Infrastructure Account.” Continue... The letter stated: “I write to confirm the execution of the following mandates by the Central Bank of Nigeria for funding of the above mentioned account as follows: Mandate FD/LP2013/40/1/30/DF –
129,300,000,000.00
Mandate FD/F124/Vol XII/120/DF –
20,700,000,000.00
Mandate FD/LP2013/40/1/DF –
50,000,000,000.0
“I wish to further confirm that the available
balance in the aforementioned account is
N200,000,000,000.00 (Two Hundred Billion
Naira Only).
“Please, accept the assurances of my best
regards.”
As regards cancellation of the ultimatum,
Doyin Okupe said about 90% of the lecturers
had resumed nationwide so the talk of
deadline resumption has dropped.
