The Digest:

The National Executive Council of the Academic Staff Union of Universities will meet on Wednesday to determine its next action after concluding renegotiations with the Federal Government. This decisive meeting follows ASUU's expired one-month ultimatum, with the nation's public universities again facing potential shutdown.

Key Points:
  • ASUU's National Executive Council will meet on Wednesday to review the FG's final offer.
  • The Yayale Ahmed-led renegotiation committee concluded talks on Tuesday.
  • ASUU's one-month strike ultimatum expired last Saturday.
  • Key demands include reviewing the 2009 agreement and paying earned allowances.
  • Education Minister Tunji Alausa insists the government has met most demands.
  • President Tinubu has mandated that no strike should occur.
  • The Nigeria Labour Congress has pledged to support ASUU if negotiations fail.
As classrooms hold their breath, this impending decision weighs more than demands and deadlines; it carries the suspended dreams of millions of students caught between a government's promises and a union's principles.
