A meeting between the federal government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has commenced in Abuja.
ASUU representatives to the meeting, led by its president, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, are in the meeting at the Conference Hall of the Federal Ministry of Education, the event venue.
The meeting followed a recent threat by the university lecturers’ union to down tools over the alleged federal government’s failure to meet its demands.
The Minister of Education and the Federal Ministry of Education’s top management staff are also in the meeting.
The meeting aims to prevent another nationwide strike in public universities.
Others in the delegation of ASUU are former past presidents of ASUU, led by the immediate past president, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi.
