Reports has it that the
Academic State Union of Universities (ASUU) on Monday received the certificate
of operation for the Nigerian University Pension Management Company (NUPEMCO)
from the National Pension Commission, the regulatory agency for the country’s
pension companies. This was disclosed by the President of ASUU, Biodun

He disclosed that ASUU received
the certificate at about 11:20 a.m on Monday.
Recall that one of ASUU's
agitation is the refusal of the regulatory agency to approve the union’s
pension commission for operation.
Mr Ogunyemi thanked members of
the union for standing solidly behind the leadership while the struggle lasted.
He pledged the union’s commitment to achieving reform in the Nigerian
university system.
Earlier, Mr Ogunyemi told
newsmen that the leadership of ASUU was still consulting with its members over
offers made by the federal government.
According to the ASUU
president, the government made some offers in the course of meetings with ASUU,
which are still being deliberated on.
Mr Ogunyemi said ASUU is
expected to be involved in another round of meeting with the government within
the week, adding that he expects a positive outcome.
