Adamu Adamu, the Minister of Education, has pleaded with the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, to call off its six-month-old strike.
The Minister urged the educational body to axe the strike and embrace dialogue.
Adaamu, who made the call while speaking at the 2022 police meeting on admissions to tertiary institutions in Nigeria held in Abuja, said embracing dialogue is the only solution to the impasse.

According to Adamu: “I urge the leadership of tertiary institutions to partner with the Federal Government in its frantic efforts at restoring industrial harmony in tertiary institutions in Nigeria. It is clear that a stable academic calendar is required for quality education and development in Nigeria.
“I also seize this opportunity to appeal to the trade unions in the tertiary education sub-sector to, in the interest of the future of Nigeria, call off the perennial strike and embrace genuine dialogue as a solution to our problems.”
