Osinbajo to lead govt negotiation team

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is set to lead the government negotiation with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

This is coming after the lecturers on Tuesday, August 29, boycotted a meeting with the Federal Government negotiation team led by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige.

Ngige on Wednesday confirmed that Osinbajo will now lead the negotiations.

ASUU embarked on indefinite strike about two weeks ago, demanding the implementation of previous agreements, full payment of salaries and improved government funding of universities
