Hope of ending a six-month old strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities this week was dashed on Tuesday as a meeting between the union’s leaders and the negotiation team of the Federal Government ended in a deadlock.
The ASUU President, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, on Monday told Channels Television that the union would meet the Federal Government’s team and hinted about calling off the strike if the FG presented a reasonable proposal.
But he disclosed after Tuesday’s meeting that the FG team did not bring anything new to the table than making an appeal to call off the strike.
The meeting that took place at the National Universities Commission was headed by the Emeritus Professor, Nimi-Briggs.
“The meeting ended with no end in sight. There were no new matters to discuss”, a reliable source within the ASUU NEC was quoted by Punch in a report Tuesday night.
Spokesperson for the Ministry of Education, Ben Goong, said the minister would brief the press on Thursday.
ASUU on Monday, February 14, 2022 commenced a strike to press home its demands
