JUST IN: ASUU NEC Meeting Ongoing, Likely Decision

Members belonging to the National Executive Council of Academic Staff Union of Universities are currently meeting in Abuja, source reports.

A member of the NEC told our source that the strike may be extended looking at the visible indicators given so far at the meeting.

In his statement, “We are still meeting. But from the reports given so far, we have no reason to suspend the strike. The Federal Government is not serious,” the NEC meeting said.

Recall that the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, had on Friday stated that the Federal Government and ASUU would resume negotiation this week.
