The Federal Government has said it's going to meet with the leaders of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) again on Monday, December 10, 2018, to find a lasting solution to the ongoing strike.
The Minister of Labour and Empowerment, Chris Ngige, announced this on Wednesday, December 6, 2018, in a statement signed by the Director of Press at the ministry, Samuel Olowookere.
The statement reads:
“The minister had earlier in the exercise of his powers sent back the conciliation to the Federal Ministry of Education as he noticed during the first meeting that both parties have not exhausted the internal conciliation mechanism. Knowing that ASUU and her members are on essential services as contained in the Trade Dispute Act, the minister has therefore directed that the matter is re-apprehended back into his ministry to avoid unnecessary meddlesomeness by external interlopers as well as to ensure speedy resolution of all issues to enable ASUU to call off the strike.
