Today (Monday) marks the 167 days members of the union across different universities downed their tools.

According to PUNCH newspaper, the meeting which ended in the early hours of Monday morning (August 1, 2022), sought to review the activities and progress recorded so far.

It was also learned that the union was yet to hear from the minister of education, Adamu Adamu, despite the promises made to the president, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, that the strike would be resolved.

But the spokesperson of the ministry of education, Ben Goong, explained that the minister of education, Adamu Adamu, was working round the clock to ensure that the strike is called off.

“We can not speak on what we are doing before we make our submissions to the president. The minister is working round the clock to ensure that he carries out the directive of the president. When we get to the point of calling ASUU, we will,” Goong said.
