But ASUU President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi said the union’s leadership did not agree on any meeting with the government.
According to him, “the government’s side is also consulting which could also be a factor as to why the meeting was cancelled.”
“We never actually agreed on any meeting. What we said was due consultations, and consultations are going on at the two levels.
“We believe the government is also consulting and that’s why the meeting has not been held.
