ASUU, FG Meeting Adjourned Amid Strike Notice, Reason Emerges

Aug 30, 2024  University


In a significant development that has captured national attention, the Minister of Education is currently holding a high-stakes, closed-door meeting with the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). This urgent meeting follows a strike notice issued by the union, causing concern throughout the academic community. The critical agenda of this meeting focuses on the federal government’s progress—or lack thereof—in meeting the union’s longstanding demands, according to TVC News. These demands, which have been the subject of numerous negotiations over the years, include increased funding for universities, improved working conditions for academic staff, and the implementation of previously agreed-upon terms.

In related news, the leadership of ASUU has stated that a strike is not imminent if the federal government, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, implements the agreements reached within the next two weeks. ASUU President, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, made this statement during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday, July 8.
