THE Federal Ministry of Education has said it will not enter into agreements with the Academic Staff Union of Universities under duress.
The ministry called on ASUU to call off its strike “so that we will not have gunpoint negotiations and make promises that we will not be able to fulfil.”
The ministry’s spokesman, Ben Goong, made this known in an interview with The PUNCH on Sunday.
Our correspondent also gathered that the National Executive Council of the union, which is currently meeting at the University of Abuja, would announce the final decision on whether to proceed with an indefinite strike or suspend the current industrial action today (Monday).
The National President, ASUU, Emmanuel Osodeke, confirmed that the NEC was indeed meeting, but refused to make further comments.
“The NEC is meeting and details will be communicated,” the ASUU president simply said.
