The Federal Government’s meeting with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), which was earlier scheduled for today (Monday), has been postponed.
Channels Television reports that ASUU president, Emmanuel Osodeke, confirmed that the meeting which was announced by the Minister of Education on Friday, will no longer take place.
Although no reason was given for the postponement, the meeting is now scheduled to take place on Wednesday, August 28.
Recall that last Tuesday, ASUU issued a strike notice to the federal government following a National Executive Committee meeting held on Monday, August 19, at the University of Ibadan.
Among the issues the union has been pressing for are emergency revitalisation fund of public universities; payment of outstanding earned academic allowances, and the release of withheld salaries, promotion arrears, and third-party deductions from members.
The other issues include stoppage of illegal recruitments; proliferation of public universities/abuse of universities’ laws, regulations, and processes; and removal of universities from the treasury single account, among others.
