The proposed meeting between the Federal Government and members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), earlier scheduled to hold today, has been postponed.

President of ASUU, Emmanuel Osodeke, confirmed that the meeting will no longer hold as announced by the Minister of Education on Friday.

Although, no reason was given for the postponement, the meeting is now expected to hold on Wednesday, August the 28.

Public University lecturers under the auspices of ASUU had last week threatened to embark on a nationwide strike over what they described as the unwillingness of the Federal Government to honour the 2009 renegotiated agreement.

The notice is part of the resolutions reached at the national executive council meeting of the union, which was held at the University of Ibadan a weekend before.
