The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has disclosed that its members are in consultation over the proposal the Federal Government made to them.
Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, the National President of ASUU, said members are making consultations regarding their next line of action.
Ogunyemi disclosed that the consultation would take more than a week to get the best out of the situation that will be acceptable and beneficial to everybody.
Dr. Chris Ngige , the Minister of Labour, had earlier on promised that the Federal Government would pay all withheld salaries of lecturers following a series of meetings with ASUU leaders.
The Federal government also pledged to release N75 billion for the revitalisation of universities and the payment of Earned Academic Allowances.
However, the ASUU National President told the press that the union leaders heard what the government is offering and have transmitted the same to its members nationwide, and are consulting with them, the union members on what the next line of action will be.
“As for how long the consultation would take, I cannot say, but it may go beyond this week. Whatever we decide on is going to be in the national interest, the interest of our children, the interest of our members and the good of all”, he affirmed.
