The Academic Staff Union of Universitis (ASUU) is expected to hold a crucial meeting with the federal government of Nigeria on Monday evening in a bid to end the ongoing strike in public universities.
The last meeting between the two parties, ended in deadlock on November 15, despite the meeting lasting for six hours.
However, the President of ASUU, Prof Biodun Ogunyemi, in an interview with The Punch on Sunday, confirmed the union’s meeting with the Federal Government would take place on Monday.
The terms and conditions to call off strike
Ahead of the meeting, Premium Times also quoted its President as saying that ASUU has given conditions upon which the current industrial action will be suspended.
According to the news outlet, the purpose of the meeting slated for 5 p.m. is to find a lasting solution to the ongoing strike.
Ogunyemi, who stated the conditions in an interview on Sunday night, said it was unfortunate that Nigerian leaders “like to move in circles without resolving the challenges rocking the system”.
