The Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Universities (ASUU) has received the certificate of operation for Nigerian University Pension Management Company (NUPEMCO), from the National Pension Commission. This is announce that the Federal Government has met one of our major demands.

In a statement release by the union on it’s official twitter handle, the union congratulated it’s members on reaching the landmark and for their patience, but intimated them that the struggle continues, thus the strike is still on.

In their statement, “We are still consulting with our chapters across the country. There are promises that government made and we are trying to consult with the various university chapters on the options before the union.”

“By the time we are fully aware of what is left of our demands from what the government is offering, then we will know what steps to take, even as negotiations with the government continues.”

ASUU is to be involved in another round of meeting with Federal Government, where they expect a positive outcome. The meeting with the government delegates will be at the instance of the Labor Minister. Therefore date and time will be communicated appropriately. However, the union anticipates a meeting this week.
