Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom
Wike, on Monday met privately with vice-
chancellors of the nation's public universities.
The meeting, which took place at the
National Universities Commission building in
Abuja, was called to discuss the four-month-
old strike by the Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU).
Journalists were barred from observing the
main meeting, as they were asked to leave
the venue immediately after Wike gave his
opening remarks.
Neither Wike nor the VCs agreed to speak
with journalists after the meeting.
However, Daily Times learnt that the
minister would meet with the ASUU
leadership on Tuesday.
Unconfirmed reports said the Federal
Government was considering shutting federal
universities till February 2014 to enable it to
sort out issues relating to the strike.
Wike had been quoted last week as saying
that the issues behind the strike would be
dealt with in a few months' time.
