The Federal Government and the striking Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) will resume talks next week with a view to ending the prolonged closure of Nigerian public universities.
The hint was dropped yesterday by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, while making the opening remarks at a meeting between the government side and the striking National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT) in his office.
Ngige noted that multiple industrial disputes in the education sector could have been averted if the unions in the sector took advantage of his open door policy like those in the health sector, which he said culminated in the peace currently enjoyed in that sector.
