The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has staged a walkout from the meeting with a federal government delegation.

The government delegation was led by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige.

The university lecturers embarked on an indefinite strike on November 4, demanding improved funding of universities and implementation of previous agreements with the government.

The National President of ASUU, Biodun Ogunyemi, led the union’s delegation to Monday’s meeting.

The ASUU delegation arrived at the ministry at exactly 5:00 p.m. but no member of the federal government delegation was around as at this time.

The government delegation led by the Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige, arrived at exactly 6:00 p.m.

The minister of education, Adamu Adamu, was absent at the time the meeting started.

Before the walkout and at the start of the meeting, Mr Ngige told the lecturers that he hopes a consensus on most of the issues is reached at the end of the meeting.

He assured the union that attention will be paid to three critical demands, which are salary shortfall, university revitalisation and earned allowances of lecturers.

Haha, I just can't understand, walk-out how? Are they angry with the fact that Minister of Education was absent? Are they angry that FG delegation came late?

After my rent dn expire......

this crazy ASUU has to be decisively dealt with because all they care for is their allowances but acting as if it's the universities they want to be in shape.
bunch of self-centered individuals!

OK
we have heard

lets hope for good recovery

Has it been called off or not? ...no time for story

Where are those Sai Baba clowns?

If only Zahra , Yusuf Buhari and kiki osinbanjo were undergraduates in Federal Universities, this strike would have been resolved before it even started

Zombie spotted

Anybody still hoping for strike to be called off this year deserves this

The report said SSANU accused the federal government of not obeying the judgment of National Industrial Court, Abuja, which ruled that the teachers in university staff schools who were sacked by government should be reinstated.

Me: FG pls should obey court judgement of December 5th, 2015 and reinstate the staff schools teachers it unlawfully layed off. This affected teachers are breadwinners of families and relatives

haaaaaaaa... mo daran...inconclusive meeting again.... when will I graduate from Lautech?? since 2012 fa...without carryover, automatic extra year...

.

ASUU and their wahala. Anyways, FG has been foolish and selfish all these while. If this will bring a little change in the Universities, they can walk out and walk in later.

Lazy cvnt..........don't you know your rewards is in heaven,if you want to earn big like the politicians,go join politics na....no one is stop you lots that have become lazy and stagnant........go back to your classes,no work no pay

Ngege is not making sense I guess

This is serious. I had hopes that the impasse would be resolved today. Anyway, God dey. It is an early Christmas for our students.

Next year will be better.

Not again please
