ASUU Strike: Federal Government To Hold Executive Meeting With Union On Thursday
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Tuesday agreed
that it would honour invitation from the Federal Government to resume the
suspended talks tomorrow on the on-going strike and its demands.
ASUU President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, said the union had
received invitation for the meeting and will act accordingly.
Prof Ogunyemi said:
“Yes, we are
in receipt of the invitation by government and will honour it.”
He, however, declined to speak more on the issue.
Those expected at tomorrow’s meeting, aside ASUU delegation,
include Minister of Education, Minister of Finance, Chairman, National Income
Salaries and Wages Commission (NSIWC), Executive Secretary, National
Universities Commission (NUC) and the President of the Nigerian Labour Congress
(NLC).
The strike by ASUU entered
the third week, even as the non academic staff unions are planning to down
tools over similar issues.
