Details of meeting between ASUU and FG emerge

Details of the meeting between leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the Federal Government have emerged.

IDOMA VOICE reports that the ongoing strike embarked on by the union continues as the meeting again ended without a truce.

This means the six-month old strike by public university lecturers is set to continue.

The striking lecturers had met with the Professor Nimi Briggs Committee on Tuesday at the National University Commission in Abuja with high hopes of resolving the impasse.

A senior member of ASUU, who craved anonymity told Channels Television that members of the Briggs renegotiation committee did not come with any new offer on the table.

Instead, the ASUU source said, the committee plead with the lecturers to suspend the ongoing strike, with promises that their concerns will be included in the 2023 budget.

According to the source, the meeting, which started at about 12pm, lasted for about three hours without any agreement reached.
