It appears there is no end in sight to the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) as another meeting held on Monday with Federal Government officials failed to resolve issues that led to the strike.
This is as the union vowed to continue with the nationwide strike it started on 4th November in public universities across the country.
ASUU National President, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi led the union’s delegation to the meeting also attended by the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Ayuba Wabba.
According to him, this was necessary to see how far the Federal Government will deliver on its promises made to address the concerns raised by the union.
In a related development, the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) is also set to commence its strike on Wednesday, 12th December. In an earlier interview with EduCeleb.com, the National President of the Union, Usman Dutse also alluded to poor funding and victimisation of Polytechnic lecturers in some institutions.
