    FG, ASUU Continue Meeting as Strike Enters Fourth Month

    The Federal Government has continued its negotiation with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) as the strike by the lecturers enters its fourth month.

    A meeting between the striking lecturers and the Professor Nimi Briggs Committee, however, ended without a concrete agreement as members planned to reconvene within 24 hours to consider a draft agreement.

    Talks between both parties held on Monday at the Nigeria University Commission (NUC) in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

    A senior member of the union who attended the meeting told ChannelsTV that they reached some agreements with the Federal Government, but members had to break and reconvene within 24 hours to consider the new terms in the draft agreement.

    The Federal Government set up the committee led by Professor Briggs on March 7 with a three-month mandate to renegotiate the 2009 ASUU/Federal Government agreement.

    The government had tasked the committee to ensure the renegotiation brings an end to the ongoing industrial action by the university lecturers.
