A follow-up meeting has been scheduled by the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, for September 6, 2024.

The Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, made this known at the end of a meeting with the union leadership on Wednesday at the Federal Ministry of Education.

Following resolutions reached at the union’s national executive council meeting held at the University of Ibadan on August 19, 2024, public university lecturers threatened to go on a nationwide strike over the Federal Government’s failure to honour the 2009 renegotiated agreement.

ASUU’s demands include improvements in welfare and university funding and halting the proliferation of universities nationwide.
