  "summary": "The Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU) is urging the Federal Government and state governments to ensure the full and timely implementation of the 2026 renegotiated agreement, particularly focusing on lecturers' allowances, welfare, and career progression. The union also stressed the importance of implementing the dual mandate policy, which allows eligible colleges of education to run both the Nigeria Certificate in Education and approved degree programmes, with adequate funding, staffing, facilities, and clear academic guidelines. COEASU National President, Dr Ahmed Lawan Waziri, emphasized that the benefits of the agreement would only be realized when its provisions improve the working conditions of lecturers.",
