Striking university lecturers have agreed to consider the
federal government’s offer to suspend their strike. The agreement comes after a
meeting with a government delegation that lasted 12 hours and 30 minutes...
The
meeting started 1:38pm on Thursday and ended 2:15 am on Friday. The leadership
of ASUU, however, said though it accepted the proposal presented by the
government, it will take the proposal to its members and get back to the
government in a week. Biodun Ogunyemi, the national president of ASUU, told
journalists after the meeting that the union will come back after one week to
take its final decisions. “Now we have some concrete proposal that we will take
back to our members for consideration,” he said. On his part, the Minister of
Education, Adamu Adamu, said ASUU’s demands have been addressed and the union
will get back to the government in a week after consulting with its principals.
