The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has announced that its renegotiation meeting with the Federal Government, which began on Monday, will conclude today, Tuesday.
In a statement on Tuesday via Facebook, the union said its National Executive Council, NEC, will convene on Wednesday to assess the outcomes of the negotiations and decide on the next course of action regarding its threatened indefinite strike.
ASUU assured its members and the public that an official update would be issued after the NEC concludes deliberations.
It read: “The renegotiation meeting commenced on Monday and is scheduled to conclude today. Immediately after this phase, the National Executive Council will convene tomorrow (Wednesday) to review the outcome and determine our next line of action.
Members and the general public will be duly informed once NEC concludes its deliberations. Stay alert. Stay united.”
DAILY POST recalls that the union had earlier threatened to shut down all public universities across the country over unresolved issues with the Federal Government, including its rejection of the 35 per cent salary increment offered and concerns surrounding the implementation of previous agreements.
In October, ASUU suspended its warning strike to allow room for negotiation, but tensions have escalated as talks continue to drag without a concrete resolution.
