The meeting between the Federal Government and the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), on Tuesday ended without an agreement.
As a result of this, the six-month old strike embarked on by public university lecturers is set to continue.
The lecturers met with the Prof. Nimi Briggs Committee at the National University Commission (NUC) in Abuja with high hopes of resolving the impasse.
A senior member of ASUU told Channels Television that members of the Briggs renegotiation committee didn’t come with any new offer on the table.
According to him, the committee merely arrived at the meeting venue and pleaded with the lecturers to suspend the on-going strike, with promises that their concerns will be captured in the 2023 budget.
The meeting started at about 12pm and lasted for about three hours.
ASUU has been on strike since February 14.
