The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has denied news reports that it agreed to call off the ongoing strike after meeting with the Federal Government negotiation team on Friday.<\/p>\n
The ASUU President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, who made this known yesterday, said the lecturers only agreed that union should convey Government message to their organs and get back to Government.<\/p>\n
Prof. Ogunyemi, said: “I am not aware of that. All I know is that we had a meeting and we are going to report to our members. But I don\u2019t know about suspension of the strike action.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Recall that the Federal Government at the meeting at the Conference Hall of the Ministry of Labour and Employment reportedly increased its offer for Earned Allowances (EA) to university-based unions and funding for the revitalization of public universities from N65 billion to N70 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n This gave rise to several news reports that the ASUU strike, which started since March, would soon be called off after a meeting with the leadership of the union and its organs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"… (0 comment)<\/a><\/span>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":39222,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"No agreement to call off strike yet \u2015 Professor Ogunyemi","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"\n
