THE MINISTER OF LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT, SENATOR CHRIS NGIGE HAS FAULTED THE CLAIMS OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE ACADEMIC STAFF UNION OF UNIVERSITIES, PROF BIODUN OGUNYEMI.
OGUNYEMI HAD BLAMED THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR ASUU’S FAILURE TO CALL OFF THE NINE-MONTH-OLD STRIKE, NOTING THAT THE LECTURERS WOULD NOT RETURN TO CLASSES UNTIL THEIR SALARY ARREARS WERE PAID.
THE ASUU PRESIDENT ADDED THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAD FAILED TO DELIVER ON OFFERS MADE TO THE UNION.
HOWEVER, NGIGE, RESPONDED ON TUESDAY, NOTING THAT OGUNYEMI MISINFORMED NIGERIANS WITH FALSEHOOD.
THE MINISTER, IN A STATEMENT REVEALED THAT ASUU AGREED AT THEIR LAST MEETING WITH THE GOVERNMENT TEAM ON NOVEMBER 27 TO CALL OFF THE STRIKE BEFORE DECEMBER 9.
