The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has been invited to an emergency meeting by the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, over the threat to embark on another round of strike.
The Minister said the meeting was intended to nip the strike in the bud.
DgovScoops gathered that the emergency meeting is slated for Tuesday, the 6th of April 2021 at 11:00 am in the Ministry’s Headquarters in Abuja.
Director, Press and Public Relations, Federal Ministry of Education, Mr Ben Bem Goong, in a statement conveying this, on Monday, in Abuja, quoted the Minister as saying that the meeting was intended to nip the strike in the bud.
Recall that ASUU had issued a notice of strike after calling off a nine-month-old strike in January this year, saying, the intended strike was over the refusal of the government to implement some of the agreements entered into between the union and the Federal Government.
