THE Federal Government, will on Monday, meet with the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in a move to bring to an end the about six weeks old nationwide indefinite strike embarked upon by the union.
ASUU had declared a total and indefinite strike across the nation starting from December 4, 2011 over non-implementation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU agreement.
The Minister of Education, Professor Ruqayyatu Ahmed Rufa’i, who spoke in Abuja on Thursday during a maiden 2012 meeting with vice chancellors of federal universities, expressed optimism that ASUU would call off the strike at the end of the meeting, adding that most of the demands of the union had been met by the government.
