ASUU Gives FG 10-days Ultimatum

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has urged the Federal Government to utilise the remaining 10 days of the one-month window granted to it to holistically resolve lingering issues between both parties.

This formed part of the resolutions reached at the National Executive Council meeting of ASUU held at Taraba State University, Jalingo, between November 8 and 9, and contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by the union’s President, Prof. Chris Piwuna.

The union said the warning became necessary as some government officials were undermining the negotiation process through statements that misrepresented the government’s offers and the status of implementation of agreements reached.

ASUU had on October 22 suspended its two-week warning strike, granting the Federal Government a one-month window to meet its demands, expiring November 22.
