The protracted strike by the
Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) may soon be called off.
The Minister of Labour and
Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, gave the hint in Onitsha, Anambra State, while
speaking to reporters.
Ngige revealed that funds had
been provided to meet most of the demands of the union.
He said the Federal Government
would make necessary efforts to ensure that the strike comes to an end this
January.
According to Ngige, the issues
that made ASUU to embark on strike were based on agreement which the union
entered into with the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan,
which the administration failed to implement before President Muhammadu Buhari
took over power.
According to the minister, the
Buhari administration is labour-friendly and is always concerned about the
welfare of the nation’s workforce.
