ASUU Nationwide Strike To Continue As Meeting With FG Ends In Deadlock

There appears to be no end in sight as regards the ongoing strike action embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) as the ASUU-FG meeting held today failed to produce any resolution.

The over three hours meeting which was held in Abuja began by 5:30pm and failed to achieve the needed result as the negotiating teams for both sides resolved to reconvene the meeting at a latter date.

The ASUU team led by its president Prof. Biodun Ogunbiyi and the FG team led by the honourable minister of education, Mallam Adamu Adamu sought to re-open negotiations over demands for improved university funding.

All efforts made by correspondents to talk to the Minister of Education proved abortive while the ASUU president avoided newsmen his reaction however left much to be told. He said: "The meeting will continue at a latter date. We will continue from where we stopped.
We have started the discussion, we are continuing and the discussion will continue at a latter date. You'll get to know about it".

Meanwhile House of Representatives Committee on Tertiary Education led by Hon. Aminu Suleiman has urged the ASUU and FG to find lasting solution to the ongoing strike and resolve their differences.

The ASUU-FG meeting today ended by 8pm.
