Latest ASUU Strike Update For Today

Yesterday, the leadership of Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, held a closed-door meeting with the representatives of the federal government.

The purpose of the meeting held in Abuja, was to allow the lecturers give the outcome of the congresses held by various chapters of ASUU.
According to reports, some of the branches wanted the strike suspended while others voted for a continuation.

Although the National Executive Council of the union reportedly met late Friday night to collate the stance of the various chapters, officials have kept sealed lips on what the decision of the lecturers is; until Friday’s unannounced meeting.

At the end of the meeting, the various officials and the government delegation refused to comment on what was discussed.

However, Samuel Olowookere, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Labour and Employment revealed that there will be another meeting between the government and ASUU by 3 p.m. on Monday.

It's over a month now that the lecturers have been on strike over several issues which include non-payment of due salaries and allowances and poor funding of universities.
