STRIKE: PLANNED FG’s MEETING WITH ASUU SHIFTED TO WEDNESDAY
The anticipated meeting that was originally planned to take place today between the Federal Government and members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has been rescheduled.
President of ASUU, Emmanuel Osodeke, confirmed that the meeting will no longer take place as announced by the Minister of Education on Friday.
The meeting is now scheduled to take place on Wednesday, August 28, even though there was no explanation provided for the postponement.
Public University lecturers under the auspices of ASUU had last week threatened to embark on a nationwide strike over what they described as the unwillingness of the Federal Government to honour the 2009 renegotiated agreement.
The notice is part of the resolutions reached at the national executive council meeting of the union, which was held at the University of Ibadan a weekend before.
