The proposed meeting between the Federal Government and members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, earlier scheduled to hold yesterday, has been postponed.
The National President of ASUU, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, confirmed that the meeting would no longer be held as announced by the Minister of Education last Friday.
Although no reason was given for the postponement, the meeting is now expected to be held on Wednesday, August 28.
Public University lecturers under the umbrella of ASUU had last week threatened to embark on a nationwide strike over alleged unwillingness of the Federal Government to honour the 2009 renegotiated agreement.
