The Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, on Wednesday, called on the Federal Government to resolve the ongoing Academic Staff Union of Universities strike without delay. “In November 2016, the Senate intervened in the ASUU strike and met with the officials of the Ministries of Education and Labour, Employment and Productivity and the Academic Staff Union of Universities. “The Federal Government must immediately work to address the demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities ( ASUU), because this issue goes beyond negotiations. It is affecting the education of Nigeria’s students, and disenfranchising many of them from participating in the upcoming general elections. “In this regard, I call on the Federal Government to immediately work on meeting the demands of ASUU and honouring all its prior commitments.
