Strike: We are waiting for the final response from the government – ASUU

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has stated that it is awaiting the Federal Government’s response to its demands concerning it’s strike action.

The Federal Government’s renegotiation committee, led by Prof. Nimi Briggs, met with ASUU leadership on Monday to continue renegotiation of the FGN-ASUU 2009 agreements with the four university unions, all of which are currently on strike.

According to ASUU President Emmanuel Osodeke, the Meeting was fair

When asked if ASUU would call off the strike soon after a fair deliberation with the Briggs committee, he replied with uncertainty

Osodeke said, ‘‘I don’t know if we are calling off the strike soon. We are waiting for the final response from the government.

“It is a committee of different government agencies. They need to go back to their principal and look at what we agreed on and then get back to us. When they respond to us, we will give you full details.”
