FG And ASUU Meeting Ends In Deadlock

The meeting held between the Academic Staff Union of Universities ASUU, and the federal government to resolve the issues and end the ongoing strike action on Tuesday, August 16, ended in a deadlock.

The striking lecturers met with the Professor Nimi Briggs committee for about three hours at the National University Commission in Abuja in a bid to resolve the issues that led to the six-month and counting strike.

According to the striking lecturers who attended the meeting, the Federal government delegation did not come with any new offer to the table except to beg the lecturers to call off the strike with promises that their demands will be included in the 2023 budget.
