Strike: FG Invites ASUU To Another Meeting

The Federal Government has again invited the leadership of Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU to a closed door meeting scheduled for Thursday, September 7.

But, the FG has now called for another meeting to hold on Thursday, Premium Times confirmed this.

Speaking with a journalist on phone, the ASUU President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi confirmed this saying:

“We just received the notification of the meeting.”

“Until Thursday, that is when we can say what would happen but we have been invited for the meeting”, Ogunyemi ended.
