Breaking: Hope to call off ASUU strike dashed as union postpones meeting with FG indefinitely

The hope to call off the lingering strike of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has been dashed, TNG reports.

ASUU has postponed it’s meeting with the federal government indefinitely, President of the union, Prof Abiodun Ogunyemi said on Wednesday.

The ASUU and the FG were supposed to hold a meeting today to discuss an end to the over 9 months old strike.

The reason for the postponement according to the ASUU President was because the time frame given to the union to consult its members is too short.

Recall that the ASUU President had earlier said the government failed to deliver on offers made to the union.

Ogunyemi blamed the FG for the union’s failure to call off the strike, noting that the lecturers would not return to classes until their salary arrears were paid. TNG
