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.
