Wednesday’s meeting between the Federal Government and Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has ended without a resolution.
ASUU in March declared an indefinite strike following the lecturers’ opposition to the federal government’s move to enforce the use of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).
The strike action is also to compel the federal government to implement the agreements and resolutions reached between the union and the federal government in 2009.
In order to resolve the issues that led to the strike, both parties have been holding meetings since then.
Speaking at the end of Wednesday’s meeting, minister of labor and employment, Chris Ngige, said the government cannot pay the N110 billion that ASUU is demanding for the revitalization of universities.
