Federal Government’s Proposal: ASUU suspend its strike soon
The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) met with Chris Ngige, Minister of Labour, earlier this week, and it appears like the strike may be coming to an end shortly.
As a result of this development, the academic union has chosen to provide its members with information on the meetings’ specifics.
The current government suggestion, on the other hand, may pave the way for a possible agreement between the union and other interested parties in the future.
There is a possibility that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) will be able to put off the one-month warning strike action that they have initiated.
In light of a lengthy, closed-door discussion with the Nigerian government, the leadership of the academic union said that its team will report back to the members on the government’s suggestions and then revert to the Nigerian government.
Premium Times said that the minister of labor and employment, Chris Ngige, stated that both parties had reached an agreement on a number of issues and that ASUU was anticipated to meet with its members and provide them with the government’s proposal in order to call off the strike.
The Earned Academic Allowances (EAA) program and the creation of a university revitalization fund were the two topics on the agenda for Tuesday’s meeting.
Timetables have been established.
In an interview with The Punch, Ngige stated that while the majority of ASUU’s requests have been met, the remaining issues are also being handled.
He stated, “I’m not going to lie, I’m not going to lie.”
“As I mentioned to you the previous time, a lot of the items have already been dealt with thoroughly, and some of them are still in the process of being dealt with.”
