The strike in public universities in Nigeria by the Academic Staff Union of Universities will continue, following the failure of the union to reach agreement with the Federal Government in its ongoing meeting with the Prof. Nimi Briggs committee
Chairman of the ASUU branch at the Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta FUNAAB, Dr. Gbenga Adeleye who made this known in an interview with Edu-biznews on Sunday in Abeokuta, said that the union was yet to agree with the government on any of its demands
The National President of ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke had been negotiating with the Briggs committee for more than a week over the demands of the union
ASUU began ts ongoing strike on February 14, 2022, to compel the Federal Government to meet some of its demands including, the release of revitalisation funds for universities, renegotiation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU agreement, release of earned allowances for university lecturers, and deployment of the University Transparency and Accountability Solution
Edu-biznews recalled that on March 7, 2022, the Federal Government inaugurated a seven-member committee led by the Pro-Chancellor of Alex Ekweme Federal University Ndufu-Alike, to renegotiate the 2009 agreement reached with ASUU
