Nigerian govt, ASUU commence talks to avert strike in universities

A crucial meeting between the federal government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has commenced in Abuja.

This meeting follows ASUU’s recent threat to strike over allegations that the federal government has failed to meet its demands.

Earlier, Minister of Education Prof. Tahir Mamman indicated last Friday, during a briefing marking his one-year anniversary in office, that the government would engage with ASUU representatives the following Monday. However, the meeting was postponed without explanation.
