The President Buhari led Federal Government and members of ASUU have again convened a meeting aimed at bringing an end to the current strike action embarked upon by University lecturers.
The federal government on Monday resumed talks with the leaders of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) over the ongoing strike in public universities. The university lecturers have been on strike since November 4 demanding for improved funding of universities and implementation of previous agreements with the government.
The national president of ASUU, Biodun Ogunyemi, led the union’s delegation to Monday’s meeting. The ASUU delegation arrived at the ministry at exactly 4:10 p.m. but none of the federal government delegation was around then.
Also in attendance is the national president of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Ayuba Wabba. The meeting is scheduled to hold at the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, Abuja. At least four other meetings have been held between both parties since the strike began.
