The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, on Tuesday,
shunned their meeting with the Federal Government aimed at resolving the
ongoing industrial action.
ASUU President, Biodun Ogunyemi, confirmed the development
to Channels Television.
Ogunyemi said the union met, discussed its new offer from
the Federal Government and has submitted a proposal to the government.
According to Ogunyemi, the union will only accept a meeting
if government replies its proposal.
Recall that ASUU had on August 13, 2017 commenced an
indefinite strike action.
In a bid to resolve the impasse, the Minister of Labour and
Productivity, Chris Ngige had scheduled a meeting with the union today.
Those expected at the botched meeting include, the Ministers
of Education and Finance, Mallam Adamu Adamu and Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, the
Chairman, National Income Salaries, and Wages Commission, Executive Secretary,
National Universities Commission and the President of the
Nigerian Labour
Congress (NLC) Comrade Ayuba Wabba.
