Members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), led by its President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, is scheduled to meet and discuss the inability of the Federal Government to meet their demands.
The meeting will take place at the union’s headquarters at the permanent site of the University of Abuja campus. The union’s leadership will address the government’s decision and discuss their potential responses to the development.
ASUU President noted with displeasure that the Federal Government is yet to meet any of the union’s demands.
However, he steadfastly declined to disclose the meeting’s date, saying it is a private meeting and the outcome will be made known when appropriate.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, last week, stated that the government would not pay lecturers’ full salary, despite their statewide protests.
It appears that the Federal Government and the ASUU are gearing up for another confrontation as ASUU had, last Monday, begun protests across the country to press home their demand for full salary, after the Federal Government failed to pay them for the eight months the lecturers were on strike.
Speaking in Abuja, last week the Minister of Education had emphasized that the protesting academics would not be paid for work that was not completed in accordance with the “No work, no pay” policy.
