ASUU Strike: deliberations continue (Meeting updates)

The Universities are still shut down, but deliberations continue among ASUU members looking for solutions to the 2013 ASUU Strike.

A last minute effort between the Federal Government of Nigeria and ASUU lasted a near 13 hours of deliberations. The meeting began at 2:30pm on Monday and ended at 3:30am Tuesday with either side of the negotiating team positive that the proposal in place will be sufficient enough to end the four month nationwide strike.

ASUU President, Dr. Nasir Isa Fagge, on leaving the presidential villa after the meeting told State House correspondent and reporters that the delegation was taking back an undisclosed message to their members for consideration after which a decision will be taken on the union’s next line of action.

“We have had a lengthy meeting with Mr. President, robbing minds on how best to address the problem of university education in this country. We now have a message from Mr. President that we are going to take to our members and we are expecting that our members will respond appropriately to his message,” he said.

He said since the message was meant for members, and nothing was disclosed to the associated press or any newspapers, so Nigerians let's wait to hear from ASUU. On my watch, a press conference or decision will be made before Friday. .
