The Federal Government has expressed
optimism that the
strike embarked on by the Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) will be suspended
by Monday.
, Permanent Secretary of the
Ministry of Labour and Employment, Dr.
Clement Illo while speaking to newsmen in Abuja on Thursday said
“It is still work in progress and we
are still meeting tomorrow (Friday) and on Monday,” he said.
“But the indications are very
positive that the issues will be resolved as quickly as possible. We are sure
of success on Friday but if we did not, then we will definitely succeed by
Monday.
“So, the possibility like I said of
suspending the strike is still very positive because there is high possibility
that the strike would be suspended.
“This is because the issues have
been very well articulated and already, there is a focus on how it will be
resolved.”
He also promised that everything
will be done, to ensure the agreement is implemented as quickly as possible.
Illo added: “like I said, it is very
positive, why should government not implement something it signed in good
faith?”
