ASUU MAY CALL-OFF STRIKE AS ASUU, FG MEET TODAY.

The Federal Government will later today meet with the Academic Staff Union of University(ASUU) to iron out issues so that students can go back to classes.

The Minister of Education, Professor Ruqayyatu Rufa’I, while fielding questions from newsmen, yesterday, disclosed that the Federal Government had no other option than to meet with the union to resolve the crisis, so students can return to school.

Prof. Rufa’I said: “Government has no option but to make efforts to resolve ASUU crisis. Mr. President is concerned, everybody is concerned, definitely, efforts will have to be made to have students back in classrooms. “So we are pleading with our colleagues in ASUU to call off the strike but we are meeting with them, we are meeting today.

ASUU president, who expressed optimism that the agreement the union entered into with the federal government would be implemented, also decried themoving in droves of Nigerian students to Ghana, since he country paid more attention to the education sector.

“This thing that they are saying agreement cannot be implemented, we have heard it before. Prof. Ben Nwabueze was always in the media when he was the Minister of Education saying that it was an agreement of imperfect obligation,” he said.

Let us hope something good come out of this talk so that students can return to school
