Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is scheduled to meet with Federal Government representatives on Tuesday over its prolonged strike.<\/p>\n

President of ASUU, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, who disclosed this on Monday while speaking on Channels Television\u2019s Politics Today, said the meeting was to discuss one of seven issues ASUU is protesting over.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the issue of renegotiation,\u201d Osodeke said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe renegotiation of the 2009 agreement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just about wages. It has to do with the system, funding, the structure, the autonomy and other issues and how to fund universities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government has reduced it to just salaries alone. But if they had looked at the whole agreement and implemented it, we would not be talking about funding.\u201d<\/p>\n

Osodeke also suggested that if Tuesday\u2019s meeting goes well, the strike action may be called off.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are willing to sign,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Recall that ASUU, on February 14, shut down public universities over the inability of the Federal Government to implement previous agreements both parties entered into.<\/p>\n

The lecturers\u2019 agitations include funding for the revitalization of public universities, earned academic allowances, University Transparency Accountability Solution, promotion arrears and others.<\/p>\n
