University teachers have been on strike since Nov. 4, 2018 over alleged non-implementation of agreements it entered into with the federal government in 2009 and 2017. Their demands are on better welfare package and improved teaching and learning environment, among other issues.
Three months after going on strike, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) says it is still consulting with its members over offers made by the Federal Government.
The union’s National President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Lagos that they would meet with officials of the government within the week.
According to him, government had made some offers in the course of meetings with ASUU which are still being being deliberated by members.
I really hope the strike is called off soon.
