Students may know fate today as the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, are currently in negotiation with the federal government over its ongoing industrial warning strike.
The union, in a Strike Bulletin No. 2, issued by the National Strike Coordinating Committee (NSCC) and signed by Dr Christopher Piwuna at the weekend, disclosed that it has resumed talks with the Federal Government.
AFRIPOST reports that ASUU announced a two-week warning strike on Monday last week, which grounded activities in Nigerian public universities.
In an update, the union said its members are united and resolute in pursuing the ASUU demands.
According to Union, progress has been made in some areas, including the release of third-party deductions, payment of promotion arrears, mainstreaming of Earned Academic Allowances (EAA), resolution of issues surrounding the confiscation of the University of Abuja land, and the victimisation of members at Kogi State University (KSU), Lagos State University (LASU), and the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO).
“Our members have shown exemplary commitment to the struggle. We must remain united and resolute in the few days ahead,” it stated.
The two-week warning strike is expected to end next week Monday.
