FG, ASUU begin meeting over strike

The Federal Government has commenced a pivotal meeting with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in Abuja. This meeting follows a recent warning by ASUU to embark on a strike due to the government’s alleged failure to address the union’s demands.

Last Friday, during a briefing marking his one year in office, the Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, announced plans for the government to engage with ASUU representatives the following Monday. However, that meeting did not occur as scheduled, with no explanation provided for the delay.

The ongoing discussions aim to prevent a potential nationwide strike in public universities, which could disrupt academic activities across the country.

ASUU’s delegation, headed by its president, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, is currently attending the meeting at the Conference Hall of the Federal Ministry of Education. Also present are the Minister of Education and senior officials from the ministry.

In addition to Prof. Osodeke, the ASUU team includes former presidents of the union, led by the immediate past president, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi.
