After the first ultimatum lapsed, the Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, met with the union twice on 28 August and 6 September, in an attempt to forestall any possible strike action. The minister also set up a subcommittee to investigate the union’s demands. A chairperson of another chapter also confirmed to our reporter that the congresses to decide on the strike action are being held across different universities but declined further comments.ASUU is a union that prides itself in a decision-making process that begins from the bottom to the top. PREMIUM TIMES learnt that the National Executive Council of the union would meet to consider the decisions of its members and announce a unified position.
Last December, the Education Minister, Mr Mamman, said President Bola Tinubu directed the exclusion of universities from the IPPIS. But the union said a ‘new IPPIS’ is being used to pay its members, adding it is the same platform as the IPPIS.
