One week after the suspension of the about four-month-old industrial action embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the renegotiation between the ASUU and the Federal Government to resolve and fine-tune the grey areas of the draft agreement commenced on Thursday, in Abuja.
The Federal Government’s renegotiation team, with the fresh mandate by the Federal Government to conclude negotiation with the ASUU, was led by Deacon Gamaliel Onosode. The team included the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Professor Oladipo Afolabi; National Universities Commission (NUC) Executive Secretary, Professor Julius Okojie and his Education Trust Fund (ETF) counterpart, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, among others.
ASUU president, Ukachukwu Awuzie, led the team that included the former ASUU president, Alhaji Sule-Kano, in a meeting that began at about 3.30 pm.
