President Muhammadu Buhari has directed Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu to meet the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) demands in 14 days to end their lingering strike.

According to reports, the public varsity lecturers commenced the industrial actions in early February 2022.

This was after the union embarked on a warning strike but eventually elongated the strike over the failure of the government to comply.

Also, the varsity staff and representatives of the government had several meetings but still couldn’t decide on when to call off the strike.

Due to that, President Buhari on Tuesday after receiving briefings from the relevant government Ministries, Agencies, and Departments involved in resolving the face-off with the university unions, ordered the Minister of Education to ensure that ASUU called off the strike within two weeks and report back to him.

Vanguard reported that those present at the meeting mentioned that President Buhari also directed that the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige be at the meetings to resolve the crisis.

Again, it said that the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Mr Boss Mustapha should be part of the team to interface with the striking unions.

However, Buhari, during the briefings commended Ngige for his efforts so far to resolve the face-off, reports stated.

Those at the meeting were the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu, the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Dr. Zainab Ahmed, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Ngige, the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, the Head of Service of the Federation, Dr. Folashade Yemi-Esan, the Chairman of National Salaries Income and Wages Commission, Ekpo Nta, the Director-General Budget Office, Ben Akabueze, newsmen stated.
