The meeting which was at the instance of the chairman, Senate Committee on Education, Senator Uche Chukwumerije, PDP Abia North, was called to pacify the striking lecturers with a bid to finding a common ground. However, a source at the meeting revealed that all efforts to push for a call off of the strike proved abortive as members of ASUU stood their grounds.
The source also said that for well over seven hours, Chukwumerije was literarily on his kneels pleading with the lecturers to consider the plights of the students and call off the strike, but ASUU members refused to shift ground.
The meeting had in attendance, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, Minister of Education, Professor Ruquayyatu Rufai; Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission, NUC, Professor Julius Okojie and members of the Senate Committee on Education,among others.

ReplyDeleteWhich negotiation n begging again? Agreement has been entered, let FG implement it period. For ASUU, they should know that we(students) know what they are doing. They don't have the interest of Nigerian students @ heart but only want to earning like the criminals we have up there called POLITICIANS. Most the politicians today were insincere member of ASUU who used to do the same. We never hear ASUU in the media without its a.k.a ............. To Nigerian youth, those that voted based on religions should call upon their imams and pastors to save this country from this mess.
