TheNational Executive Council of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) are currently holding in Abuja as the strike was billed to end tomorrow, 9th of May.
Punch reports that a member of the council noted that the strike may be extended with the submissions given so far at the meeting.
The member of the council said, “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 academic union, on the 14th of February declared a warning strike to press home some demands.
Members of the union had asked the Federal Government to implement the Memorandum of Action signed in December 2020 on funding for the revitalisation of public universities.
Also listed in the MoU are Earned Academic Allowances, renegotiation of the 2009 agreement and the deployment of the University Transparency and Accountability Solution among others.
However, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige on Friday noted that the Federal Government and ASUU would resume negotiation this week.
