ASUU Strike: Union, FG Continue Negotiation

Academic Staff Union of Universities and Federal Government have resumed their negotiation over the strike embarked upon by the lecturers.


They had adjourned their meeting till Monday after the meeting last Wednesday ended in a deadlock.

The parley is expected to decide on the platform for the disbursement of the funds pledged by the FG.

The FG team had offered to pay the salary arrears and the N30 billion earned allowances of the university lecturers through the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System platform pending the roll-out of ASUU’s preferred platform, the University Transparency and Accountability Solution.

But the ASUU delegation reportedly insisted that the university teachers would not enrol on the government salary platform.



“Our discussions/negotiations with the Academic Staff Union of Universities continue today,” he tweeted.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, is leading the FG’s team while the ASUU president, Biodun Ogunyemi, leads the lecturers.
