Tuesday’s meeting between ASUU and the administration failed to produce a resolution to the strike.
The public university lecturers’ six-month-old strike is expected to continue.
The government-instituted Professor Nimi Briggs Committee and the striking academics met on Tuesday at the National University Commission in Abuja in the hopes of breaking the deadlock.
With high hopes of breaking the deadlock, the academics met with the Professor Nimi Briggs Committee at the National University Commission (NUC) in Abuja.
Osodeke had assured Nigerians that the union would call off its strike if the Federal Government made a strong proposal.
Members of the Briggs renegotiation committee didn’t present any new offers, a senior ASUU member told Channels Television.
He claims that the committee begged the academics to call off their protest, promising to address their issues in the 2023 budget.
The minister of education will address the media on Thursday, according to Ben Goong, the ministry’s spokesman.
