The two-week window given to Education Minister Adamu Adamu to mediate in the standoff between the Federal Government and university unions will close tomorrow. ASUU: Nigerians await outcome of Adamu’s negotiation. Adamu offered to take over the negotiations with the university unions from Labour and Employment Chris Ngige, who, until penultimate week, had been at the forefront of the talks.

President Muhammadu Buhari had instructed the Education minister to revert to him in two weeks after reaching a truce with the striking unions.

The varsity unions – Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), Non-Academic Staff of Universities (NASU) and National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT), have been on strike over issues bordering on the welfare of their members.

The minister could not be reached by this reporter yesterday for update.

Osodeke also said the 100 per cent pay rise proposal being mulled by the federal government was yet to be tabled before the union.

Osodeke said: “There has been nothing from the Federal Government since the minister took over. He has not met with us. He still has two days before the two weeks ultimatum ends.”

ASUU called out its members on a one-month strike on February 14, 2022 over the non-implementation of the Memorandum of Action (MoA) it signed with the Federal Government and the insistence of the government on the adoption of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel information system (IPPIS) as payment platform for all federal workers.

The union proposed the United Technical & Allied Services (UTAS) as its preferred alternative platform for the payment of salaries for its members following discrepancies highlighted in the use of IPPIS.

It declared a two-month strike on March 14.

The teachers are on the three-month strike declared by ASUU after the expiration of the two-month warning strike.

The strike entered its 168 day today (Monday, August, 2022).

Those useless Media running fact check, can they run fact check for us when ASUU will call off strike?

There was a country ...

Hopefully there is a light at the end of the tunnel come 2023 you dont need to vote wisely vote ObiDatti

This report is not fair to the Minister of Education!
Adamu was not given two weeks, but he himself asked for two to three weeks and the three weeks will end next week.
It is doubtful if anything will happen before this week Wednesday but most likely things will happen before the end of the three weeks window!

positive things?

I pray so

When I thought Adamu would have met severally with ASUU within the 3 weeks period. Shouldn't ASUU be his first point of contact, to really know what they want, since ASUU could not agree with Ngige on many terms.

this government is just so unserious about ending this strike. This was the same approach they used during the covid period that they had to wait until after the lock down to start meeting with ASUU. Had it not been for the end SARS protest that forced their hands, Nigerian students would still be home by now. Like ASUU president said, if they feel that what the Union is demanding for is too much, they should come up with what they can offer and their members would look at it and decide. Is that too much for a serious government to do?

I know Adamu won't meet with ASUU,
He's more of a NECO Minister
