ASUU strike latest: Tension as students await outcome of FG, union’s meeting
There is currently anxiety and suspense among Nigerians students as they await the final outcome of the ongoing meeting between members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, and the federal government delegation over the ongoing ASUU strike.
IDOMA VOICE reports that the two parties are currently meeting in Abuja with hopes that the seven-month old strike would be called off today.
The union had said it is ready to call off its lingering strike if the federal government signs the University Transparency Accountability Solution (UTAS) as the payment platform of lecturers.
The meeting, which took off about 8pm on Tuesday is being presided over by Prof Ibahim Gambari.
Talks today are mostly centred on Revitalisation Fund & Increment of Salaries points.
Meanwhile, students have expressed mixed feelings about the ongoing dialogue.
