President Muhammadu Buhari has joined other stakeholders in the country to appeal to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to suspend its plan to commence an industrial action following the inability of the government to meet the union's demands.
The president assured ASUU that the Federal Government would honour promises made to them to prevent disruptions of academic programmes caused by strikes by improving the funding of educational institutions.
The President made the pledge when he received members of the Nigeria Inter-Religious Council (NIREC) led by the Co-Chairs, the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar, and the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Samson Ayokunle.
He thanked NIREC for intervening in the year-long strike by ASUU by holding consultations with the parties involved.
