A source close to a member of ASUU team said the Union's delegates took only water.
A senior lecturer at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) in a chat with newsmen in Lagos said, “First, what our leaders went there to do was to negotiate, not to eat.”

That is why we go to our members to allow them to look at the issues. How will they interpret them? Will they see them as shortchange? It is very difficult to say that for now.”

ReplyDeleteThis article is senseless; firstly the so called source never attended the meeting and then the author does not provide credible proof of whateverr happened there.
