After a marathon meeting with the federal government, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) are now rallying their leaders in various school over possibility of calling off months on strike.
Briefing journalists after the eight-hour meeting, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, said the dialogue was fruitful.
ASUU’s president, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi agreed with the Minister’s remarks.
Ngige said the government has made a proposal which ASUU will take back to their executives.
The minister explained that several issues were discussed in the Friday meeting, including salary shortfall, the payment system for lecturers and revitalisation of universities.
He expressed optimism that all the issues will be resolved at their next meeting.
