President of ASUU, Biodun Ogunyemi, also confirmed that the meeting will continue next week though no date has been fixed adding that the union has made its request known.

He explained that the strike had become necessary following government’s refusal to honour an agreement reached in 2009 even after several follow-up meetings and reminders.

He said: “Our meeting with the education minister in May and September to remind him about federal government promises to implement the agreement yielded no result.”

Thursday’s meeting began 3p.m and ended 8:15 p.m.
