ASUU takes Jonathan’s message to members after 13 hours meeting

The over 13 hours meeting held by President Goodluck Jonathan with executive members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) ended at 3.35am this morning.

 The ASUU executives told reporters who had kept vigil at the State House that they would take the president’s message back to their members. Though they came out smiling, the president, Dr. Nasir Fagge, did not say what the message was when he spoke with the correspondents. The Labour Minister, Emeka Wogu, who also spoke with the press, just said what was discussed did not go beyond the 2009 agreement.

Will the over four months old strike be called off today? Fingers crossed!
