The Federal Government has maintained that the documents cited by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, were proposals, not signed agreements, contrary to claims made by the union.
Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, made this clarification on Thursday while addressing journalists in Abuja.
He said both the 2009 and 2011 documents often cited by ASUU as binding agreements were never signed, but only proposals presented during negotiations.
He said the administration of President Bola Tinubu was, however, committed to resolving lingering issues with the university lecturers’ union.

“The documents ASUU has been referring to as agreements were just proposals that were never signed,” Alausa stated.
The minister also dismissed reports that he scheduled a meeting with ASUU and the Minister of Labour and Employment, describing them as inaccurate.
