The meeting between the federal government and Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, to resolve the ongoing strike action embarked upon by the universities teachers has ended on a good note.
The development signals end in sight to the six month old strike by the universities teachers. According to #ASSU Updates on twitter, Wednesday morning, ASUU said: “Good News for Nigerian Students. An agreement has been reached.”
The union had met yesterday with Prof. Briggs’ renegotiation committee with a view to resolving its difference with FG towards reopening the universities, a meeting which was said to have ended in deadlock before the meeting which produced a resolution.
With this development, the Nigerian students may go back to classes soon.
