They are inviting for discussion on the issue of renegotiation, tomorrow, which is the renegotiation of the 2009 agreement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe issues of IPPIS and UTAS have been put to rest because the test has been done and it has been agreed with the chief of staff, UTAS will be implemented to cover the university.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo, if this government is serious, this strike will not last more than two weeks. If you recall we were supposed to go on strike in November, but we didn\u2019t start it because NIREC came in and intervened. We conceded to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019They met with the president, he set up a committee headed by the chief of staff that should resolve this quickly, the world saw it in the press, they did nothing. The president set up the Munzali committee, we met them, nothing, they didn\u2019t come back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey set up the Nimi Briggs committee, it\u2019s now more than three months, two months we finished negotiating with them, they didn\u2019t come back. The president directed the Ministry of Education to finish within two weeks, two weeks passed, and they didn\u2019t come back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we go into that meeting tomorrow and the government says what we have negotiated, we are willing to sign, the strike will be called off.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has appeared set to suspend its about 183 days strike soon following the resolution of issues around the Integrated Payroll and Personal Information System (IPPIS), and the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS), with the Federal Government.
