this yesterday in Abuja at a
crucial meeting with Vice-

concerned and I am sure you are
aware that series of meetings
have taken place even with the
President Goodluck Jonathan. We
have been talking and discussing
with members of ASUU. Today
after our meeting with the Vice
Chancellors we are going to hold
a meeting again with ASUU on
Monday and it is our hope that
after that meeting we expect that
ASUU should call off that strike.

definitely we are meeting most
of their demands.” She
