President Goodluck Jonathan
President Goodluck Jonathan Tuesday directed the federal government negotiating teams to take all the necessary steps to ensure the quick resolution of the industrial dispute declared by university teachers.
The president gave the directive when members of the two committees set up by the federal government to negotiate with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) briefed him on the progress so far made in ending the lingering strike by the union.
The meeting with the president came against the backdrop of the deadlock on Monday in negotiations between the federal government teams and ASUU over the implementation of the 2009 agreement signed between the government and the union.
THISDAY checks on the state of the implementation of the 2009 agreement showed that government has provided N30 billion to support the governing councils of the universities to pay earned allowances.
