The Intervention Committee set up to intervene and resolve the ongoing KSU ASUU strike under the Chairmanship of Rt. Hon. Umar A. Imam, Speaker Kogi State House of Assembly met Monday 11th July.Representatives of both the government and ASUU presented their points and what in their opinion they feel is the way forward and panacea to ending the strike.The meeting was very successful and the House of Assembly leadership led by Rt. Hon. Umar A. Imam was to present the template for resolving the strike to His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, Executive Governor of Kogi State that Monday evening but the official engagement of His Excellency that has on avoidably kept him outside the state prevented the meeting as planned.Consequent upon Governor Yahaya Bello's interest and commitment to seeing that the strike comes to an end, he shelved some of his scheduled official engagements to meet with the Assembly leadership. The meeting started yesterday 13th July and will be hopefully concluded this evening 14th July, 2016.The Committee is hopeful that by tomorrow, everything possible will be put in place for ASUU to call off the ongoing KSU strike to enable students resume next week Monday.Chairman of the Intervention Committee, Rt. Hon. Imam plead with students to exercise a little more patience as both government and ASUU will soon reach a common ground.The Committee therefore call on all students involved in the ongoing protest to return back to their homes in the interest of the innocent commuters and the people of Kogi State in general.— NIHI (For The Intervention Committee)From Odaudu Joel Minister wall.

Protest: Open Letter By Kogi State University SUG President Philip Omepa To Students

Good morning my fellow students. The wave of hope blew towards us immediately after the tribunal case when the governor himself during the press interview told the general public and the students that in less than 10 days the issue will be resolved and we will get back to our various classes. I couldn't believe this since they have made several promises in d past so I had to make contacts to his various appointees and aides and we were assured that d governor has decided to make d university his priority and they re making arrangements to pay and that the notification for the protest actually got to d desk of his excellency the governor. Now in view of this, u will all believe me all we want is how this strike issue will be resolved within a short time so we can get back to class. So it has been deliberated and agreed by the students union government that the protest which is slated to be 9th in anyigba will no longer hold but if government fails to keep up their 10 days demand, we all will be matching to lugard house on 16th of dis month I.e next week Thursday which I believe by then the 10 days promised might have elapsed. I want to urge every student that we re working in one spirit for the betterment of our own institution and SUG is there in dis administration to be close to students, stand and fight for their right. We also want to thank every student for their patience and understanding with us. We are fighting for same cause. Thank you all. (A message from) COMRADE PHILIP SHAIBU OMEPA (08050476454)
