       The Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chris Ngige has stated
       that efforts to resolve the crisis between ASUU and the Federal
       Government was stalled due to the fact that the union is
       demanding N248 Billion as payment for earned allowance.
       He mentioned that among the 8 demands presented by ASUU, it is
       only the issue of earned allowance that is still unresolved.
       According to him, the Federal Government will not be able to
       cough out such an amount of money at the moment considering that
       the economy of the nation is currently in recession.
       He further stated that the government proposed to be paying a
       certain amount to ASUU on a monthly basis pending when the first
       tranche of money earlier disbursed to ASUU for that purpose will
       be audited.
       However, ASUU brought up a counter proposal which made the two
       parties to retreat to allow further consultations after which
       they will reconvene to continue negotiation and hopefully
       resolve the issue.
