government delegation in Abuja
which started 1:38pm on Thursday,
September 7 and ended 2:15 a.m.

after the meeting that the union
will come back after one week to
take its final decisions.
In his words:
"Now we have some concrete
proposal that we will take back to
our members for consideration."

education, said ASUU's demands
have been addressed and the
union will get back to the
government in a week after
consulting with its principals.
