Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday met with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in Abuja.It could not be ascertained if the meeting, which lasted barely one hour, produced desirable results.
The ASUU President, Dr. Nasir Fagge, and the minister refused to speak with journalists after the meeting.
Fagge did not respond to journalists’ questions on the outcome of the meeting and possible next line of action of the union.
He simply told Punch's correspondent, “I am not in a position to talk.”
At the meeting were the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Prof. Julius Okojie; the Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Prof. Isaac Adewole; and a few national officers of the union.
Meanwhile, Nigeria has protested to the Republic of Hungary over the arbitrary increase of fees for Nigerian students studying in various universities in that country..Eyaa but why won't they? They probably realised that a lot of Nigerians would want to apply for their schools as a result of the strike and to cut down on the people coming in,they increased the fees.
