President GoodLuck Jonathan has on Sunday, yesterday called on ASUU members to return to work in the interest of their students and the education sector.

According to President GoodLuck, the N79 billion Earned Allowance arrears, which was the major reason for the ASUU strike, was not supposed to be paid from the federation account but from the Internally Generated Revenue of the universities, if a good labour law is in place.

The President also reiterated the commitment of his administration to adequately fund the universities and provide the necessary infrastructure to aid the education sector

He however called on the striking ASUU to reconsider its stand by accepting government offer, and call its members back to the classrooms.

He purported that Nigeria is better off what it used to be in the past years of the PDP-led government with improved standard of living, building of more federal universities, improved telecommunication, railways and roads.
