The Federal Government has set up meetings for Monday, November 24, 2025, and Tuesday, November 25, 2025.
This is in a bid to avert the looming strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
A National Executive Council meeting of the union is expected to be convened by its leadership.
Depending on the outcome of the meeting, the ASUU NEC will decide whether or not to embark on a strike.
A highly placed member of the NEC made this known in an interview with our correspondent in Abuja.
The NEC member, who spoke on condition of anonymity, blamed the Federal Government for allegedly adopting delay tactics.
“They have convened a meeting for Monday and Tuesday. I believe it’s delay tactics. They are trying to delay us from taking action. After their meeting, we will hold a NEC meeting to decide the next line of action.”
Sunday PUNCH reports that the ultimatum given by ASUU expired on Saturday.
