The Federal Government has stated that it has met all the demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to enable them to end the lingering strike.
The Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, made this known while speaking on Channels Television.
While insisting that there is nothing stopping the lecturers from returning to classrooms, the Minister said the lingering strike should be blamed on the lecturers.
Nwajiuba said: “The lecturers can be back in the classroom tomorrow if they say they want to go back. There is nothing withholding the lecturers from entering the classroom tomorrow.
“Everything that the government needs to do is done. If you want your salaries, get on the platform and collect your salaries.”
SUNRISE.NG reports that ASUU and the federal government have been at loggerheads over lecturers refusal to enrol on the payment platform, Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).
