Mr. Fagge told journalists in Abuja
that although negotiations have
continued, there’s nothing yet on
the table. He said the union
remains resolute in sustaining the
ongoing strike action to ensure that
the topical issues affecting the
nation’s university system are
tackled decisively once and for all.
However, the chairman of the Needs
Assessment Committee of the
Nigerian Universities, Governor
Gabriel Suswam of Benue state says
the public holidays have stalled the
smooth progress made so far, but if
all goes according to plan, the strike
may be called off next week and also
assured Nigerians that the industrial
dispute will be resolved.
The President of ASUU, Professor
Nasir Faggae was not under pressure
to call off the strike,as he insisted
that the union is resolute in
sustaining the ongoing strike action
if the issues in contention are not
met, inspite of appeals by the
Minister of Education, Prof. Ruqqayat
Rufai who tried to avoid the media
at the presidential villa. She
however called on ASUU to sheathe
their sword while negotiations are in
progress.
