The Federal Government and the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) are expected to meet today.
This is as a result of the one-month warning strike embarked upon by the union.
While declaring the strike, Professor ASUU President, Emmanuel Osodeke blamed the government for failing to meet the demands of lecturers.
The demands include the revitalization of public universities, earned academic allowances, University Transparency Accountability Solution (UTAS) promotion arrears, renegotiation of 2009 ASUU-FGN agreement, and inconsistencies in Integrated Payroll and Personnel information system (IPPIS) payments.
On Monday, Deputy Director, Press and Public Relations in the Ministry of Labor and Employment, Mr. Charles Akpan, confirmed that Senator Chris Ngige, will be meeting with the executives of the union and other relevant government agencies over the strike.
