The Academic Staff Union of Universities has said it will not
disclose when it will hold its meetings to consider the Federal
Government’s offers, aimed at resolving the ongoing strike.
The ASUU President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, said this on Sunday
while responding to a Punch correspondent’s inquiry as to when the union
would meet to examine the Federal Government’s offers and resolve the
strike.
The union and the Federal Government’s delegation held a 14-hour
meeting on Thursday, after which they issued a communiqué, in which ASUU
was asked to revert to the government within one week.
The ASUU President had on Friday said in an interview that he could
not determine when the union would call off its strike until its
members met to decide the next course of action.
This is also as the National Association of Nigerian Students on
Saturday promised to meet the ASUU executives and consider the
government’s offers with a view to ending the strike.
The NANS spokesperson, Bestman Okereafor, had said this in a statement released in Enugu State.
When contacted to comment on when the union would meet to consider
the government’s positions, the ASUU President said in a text message, “Good morning. Sorry. We don’t tell outsiders the arrangements of our meetings. Have a great Sunday.”
