The Federal Government will today, Tuesday, meet with the striking Academic Staff Union of Universities to find a solution to the contentions that led to strike by the university teachers.
It will be recalled that ASUU declared a one-month warning strike which commenced on Monday, February 14 to press home its demands.
The Federal Government and ASUU continued to trade blames over the strike and the unmet agreements.
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, has scheduled a meeting with the leadership of ASUU today, at his office.
A letter by Charles Akpan, Deputy Director/Head, Press and Public Relations in the Ministry of Labour and Employment, read, “The Honorable Minister for Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, will be meeting with the Executive of Academic Staff Union of Universities and relevant government agencies.
“The meeting is scheduled as follows: Date: Tuesday, 22nd February 2022. Time: 1 pm.
