The Federal Government on Friday appealed to striking university lecturers to return to work, saying a resolution to the 54-day strike was under way. The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, made the appeal in Abuja during a meeting between government’s representatives and Chairmen of Governing Councils of both federal and state universities. Anyim, who read out a number of agreements held between government and executives of the Academic Staff Union of Universities since the commencement of the strike, said the Federal Government had shown enough commitment to ending the impasse. He said that the lecturers were being inconsiderate with their demands. Anyim’s reaction, however, came on the heels of recent threat by ASUU to discontinue further deliberations with the Federal Government’s negotiation team.
