The reconciliation meeting between the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the Federal Government over the ongoing strike by university lectures has been adjourned indefinitely.

Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, ASUU President who refused to speak with journalist after a two-hour meeting with government on Monday, said, “go and ask the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige”.  

The meeting which was called at the instance of the minister was aimed at finding ways of ending the strike, which commenced on November 4th. ASUU demands included some areas of understanding in the implementation of the Memorandum of Action agreed to in 2017.

The meeting which was called at the instance of the minister was aimed at finding ways of ending the strike, which commenced on November 4th. ASUU demands included some areas of understanding in the implementation of the Memorandum of Action agreed to in 2017.

Some of these areas include shortfall in salaries of some Federal universities’ workers and lecturers, earned allowances, revitalisation that are part of 2009 agreement, among others. Ngige, while addressing newsmen, said the meeting was a continuation meeting from last Monday meeting.

According to him, we gave ourselves some assignment with different Ministries, Department and Agencies (MDAs) on what to do. “They brought their reports today and we took the reports and we were supposed to do some implementation on the reports. So we are going to give ourselves some days for it to be done and to see whether we can accomplish them before Christmas,” he said.


The Minister also denied any walk out by the union, saying there is no walk out, “we held the meeting and we even broke into an executive session and we discussed.  He added that there is no dissatisfaction by the union as “we have already agreed on implementation and we have given ourselves some work plan”.
