The proposal comes at a time when ASUU leaders are preparing to meet government officials to discuss long-standing issues affecting public universities. The talks are expected to cover welfare, funding and the overall state of the tertiary education system.

Government sources said the planned increase is part of efforts to ease tension on campuses and address complaints raised by lecturers over the years. The proposal is expected to be examined during the upcoming negotiation sessions.

ASUU is entering the talks with demands centred on improved working conditions, better facilities and a clear plan to revitalise public universities. The union has repeatedly warned that staff welfare and university funding have continued to decline.

The new negotiation phase is seen as an important test for both sides, coming months after previous discussions stalled without a clear agreement. Stakeholders hope the talks will produce a lasting solution that prevents future strikes.

Students and parents are watching closely, as the outcome will determine the stability of the academic calendar and the future of university education in the country.
