We Have Reached An Agreement With ASUU- FG

The federal government of Nigeria
has stated that it has reached an
agreement with members of the
striking Academic Staff Union of
Universities, ASUU.
The minister of Education, Adamu
Adamu made this known at a
reconciliation meeting with
Executive members of ASUU,
officials of the Ministry of
Education and other stakeholders
on Thursday in Abuja.
According to him, the two most
contending issues were the
allowances and the revivalisation
of the universities system.
"I think we have already reached
agreement on one and I hope we
will be able to reach agreement on
the other," he said shortly after
the meeting.
Also, speaking after the meeting,
Minister of Labour and
Employment, Chris Ngige, said that
the meeting was convened to
resolve rough edges to enable the
union call off its strike.
According to him, strike is
approaching one month and that it
is adversely affecting the
academic calendar of the
universities.
