The Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu has invited the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic to an emergency meeting following the threat to embark on another strike.
A statement by the Director Press and Public Relations, Ben. Bem Goong said that the emergency meeting would hold Tuesday, the 6th of April 2021 at 11:00 am in the Ministry’s Headquarters in Abuja.
Explaining the reason for the emergency meeting, the Minister said the meeting is intended to nip the strike in the bud.
It will be recalled that ASUU and ASUP have issued a notice of strike after calling off their old strikes, saying, the intended strike is over the refusal of Government to implement some of the agreements entered into between the unions and the Federal Government.
