The meeting between the federal government and the leadership of
the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), on Tuesday ended without an
agreement.
As a result of this, the six-month old strike embarked
on by public university lecturers is set to continue.
The
lecturers met with the Professor Nimi Briggs Committee at the National
University Commission (NUC) in Abuja with high hopes of resolving the impasse.

A senior member of ASUU told Channels Television that members of the
Briggs renegotiation committee didn’t come with any new offer on the table.

suspend the ongoing strike, with promises that their concerns will be included
in the 2023 budget.
The meeting started at about 12pm and lasted
for about three hours.
