The lecturers met with a government
delegation on Monday.
The meeting between striking university
lecturers and the federal government on
Monday did not resolve the contending
issues but would continue on Thursday.
The lecturers, members of the Academic
Staff Union of Universities, met with a
government delegation led by the Secretary
to the Government of the Federation, Pius
Anyim, on Monday in Abuja.
The lecturers demand full implementation of
a 2009 agreement and a 2011
memorandum of understanding they had
with the government on various issues
ranging from university autonomy, to
funding, and lecturers’ remuneration. The
government has said it wants a
renegotiation of some parts of the 2009
agreement.
The President of ASUU, Nasir Fagge, told
PREMIUMTIMES that Monday’s meeting held
and the union was there to make its
presentation after it had discussed with its
principals.
Mr. Fagge said the government also
presented its position on the
implementation of the agreement adding
that “the next meeting would be on
Thursday still on the implementation of the
agreement.”
ASUU has been on an indefinite strike since
July 1 with hundreds of thousands of
university students forced to stay away from
classes.
