The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has maintained that they have not received any official invitation from the Federal Government for the earlier announced meeting with the government team aimed at resolving the areas of disagreements and calling off the strike.
This is coming barely 24 hours after the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, said that the federal government will meet with the ASUU team on Thursday to resolve issues causing the strike.
This was made known by the President of ASUU, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, on Thursday, June 23, and can be seen on the union’s official Twitter account.
What ASUU is saying
The tweet post from ASUU reads, ‘’ASUU President, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke says his union has not received any official invitation yet, for the supposed Thursday (today) meeting announced by Labour Minister, Dr Chris Ngige.
‘’Contrary to claims by Ngige that the government will be meeting with ASUU today, which should be followed by positive result, Professor Osodeke says his team is yet to be informed.’’
