The National Executive Council of the striking Academic Staff Union of Universities is set to meet on Sunday, August 28, 2022 to take a decision on whether to suspend or continue with the strike.
The four weeks ultimatum that was given to the federal government is also expiring that day.
Meanwhile, the Federal Ministry of Education on, Monday, said it was not aware of plans to proscribe ASUU.
Recall that, ASUU had embarked on an industrial action on February 14, 2022. The union had demanded for the renegotiation of the ASUU-FGN 2009 agreement; release of revitalisation funds for universities; deployment of the University Transparency Accountability System for the payment of salaries and allowances of university lecturers; release of earned allowances; and the release of the white paper report of the visitation panels to universities.
