Regarding the settlement of the outstanding retirement benefits due to the ex-workers of the Nigeria Airways , the initial submission for their retirement benefits was N78 billion.

At the end of verification, N45 billion was agreed as total retirement benefits of affected staff.

Regarding the funding measures for the revitalization of public universities , you may recalled that ASUU signed a Memorandum of understanding with the Federal Government sometimes in 2013 on the terms and conditions on which the Government would improve funding for staff welfareand provision of critical infrastructure.

Sad!!!! Corp member falls from moving commercial bus in Lagos.

At about 9:45pm on 15/04/19 a corp member fell from a moving commercial bus (danfo) along LASU-ISHERI road Lagos. He sustained severe head injury and was lying by the road side. A few eye witnessed at the scene of the incident assisted in driving him down to a nearby hospital at (Alimosho General hospital, Igando) where he was given first aid treatment. He was thereafter referred to LASUTH for further medical management that same night due to the nature of the injury he sustained. However, no one has been unable to contact the relatives or friends. Mobile phone on him can't be accessed (passworded) and has no means of identification on him. We hope the young man recovers fast from the severe head injury sustained during the ugly incident. Anyone with useful information about the victim should please contact the relatives or the Lagos State NYSC secretariat or call 09092377729.
