Following the ongoing dispute between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on ranges of issues, the FG disclosed that it has made proposals to ASUU in efforts to resolve the pending disputes.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has begun a two- week warning nationwide strike with effect from Monday, March, 9. Many students have expressed their displeasure about the development which they stressed will apparently tamper with their Academic calendar. The union's National President, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi, made this public at end of the National Executive Council meeting (NEC) held at the Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT).

The National Examination Council, NECO has on Tuesday announced that its Governing board has approved the dismissal of 19 staff for certificate forgery, following the worker's confession to the crime. According to PUNCH, the affected workers confessed during a Staff Certificate Verification Committee screening, which was set out to fish workers "with the questionable credential".
