Buhari Gives Adamu 2-weeks Ultimatum To Resolve ASUU Strike
President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu to resolve the prolonged strike embarked upon by the four university-based unions and report back to him in two weeks time.
President Buhari gave the directive today after he received briefings from the relevant government Ministries, Agencies and Departments involved in resolving the face-off with the university unions.
It would be recall that the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, had proceeded on one month warning strike on February 14, and other unions also withdrew their services after that as a result of the alleged inability of the federal government to meet up with their demands.
