The Nigerian striking university lecturers say they are still consulting ahead of meeting over the offer made to them by the Nigerian Government towards making them return to work.
President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Biodun Ogunyemi, in a phone conversation with Premium Times said the union was yet to call its national executive council meeting that will deliberate on the government’s offers.
The federal government tabled the offers to the lecturers during an extensive meeting between Thursday and Friday last week.
The team negotiating on behalf of the teachers rose from the meeting and asked to be given a week for the teachers to consider the offer.
“We are still consulting on the federal government offer and have no solid information as of now” Mr. Ogunyemi said.
The federal government delegation to last week’s meeting was led by Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige and Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu .
