ASUU Strike: FG To Explore Other Options Over Continuous Strike
The minister of labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, has expressed optimism that the prolonged strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities will be resolved by next week when the Federal Government team meets the union leaders again. The minister however said the Nigerian government will consider “options” if ASUU fails to resolve its issues by then and continues strike. Ngige complained that the union was not considering the challenges their demands would create. The minister said even if countries go to war, they eventually meet at the negotiation table. He said “There are so many options left. We have the labour laws and I have options left to me in the labour laws. I have other channels.”
