Vice President Namadi Sambo,
yesterday held a closed-door meeting
with the supervising Minister of
Education, Nyesom Wike and vice
chancellors of universities, in a bid to
end the ongoing strike by the
Academic Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU).
No official statement was issued at
the end of the meeting held at the
Presidential Villa. Also, nobody who
attended the meeting was ready to
take questions from newsmen.
Other members of the delegation
included Executive Secretary of the
National Universities Commission,
Prof. Julius Okojie and the Vice
Chancellor of the University of Ibadan,
Prof. Isaac Adewole, among others
Last week, the Senate passed a
resolution urging Senate President
David Mark to prevail on President
Goodluck Jonathan and officials of
the Academic Staff Union of Nigeria
Universities (ASUU) to end its four-
month strike that has shut down
Nigerian universities since July.
The Senate resolution to empower
Mark to lead the negotiation team
with government and ASUU was
based on a motion sponsored by108
members.
The latest move by the vice president
may not be unconnected with Federal
Government’s resolve to bring about
a quick end to the impasse, following
the failure of the Governor Gabriel
Suswam negotiation team to end the
crisis.
