Strike: ASUU Issue More Complicated than Nigerians Think — Lai Mohammed

The Federal Government uncovered on Wednesday that the explanations for the continuous strike by ASUU and three other college associations are not quite as basic as they maintain that Nigerians should accept.
The Federal Government has shown that the continuous clash with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is convoluted.

Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture, expressed this on Wednesday following a gathering of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) directed by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Notwithstanding the intricacies, he expressed that much is being finished in the background to determine the issues.

The clergyman expressed that the Federal Government is worried about the long-running issues with the teachers and will keep on attempting to track down a speedy arrangement.

ASUU has been protesting since February 14 over issues like the execution of the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS), non-installment of pay rates and stipends, and deficient college financing, among others.

On Monday, the public authority and association authorities proceeded with their exchanges to end the four-drawn out strike.

In any case, the gathering between the striking teachers and the Professor Nimi Briggs Committee finished without a substantial understanding since individuals wanted to reconvene in something like 24 hours to think about a draft arrangement.

The two players had conversations at the Nigeria University Commission (NUC) in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

As per a senior patron who went to the gathering, they agreed with the Federal Government, however individuals needed to have some time off and reconvene in the span of 24 hours to think about the new terms in the draft understanding.

On March 7, the Federal Government designated a council drove by Professor Briggs with a three-month order to rethink the 2009 ASUU/Federal Government understanding.
