The proposed meeting between the Federal Government and members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) scheduled to be held today, August 26, has been postponed.
President of ASUU, Emmanuel Osodeke, confirmed that the planned meeting which was to prevent another ASUU strike, will no longer be held as announced by the Minister of Education.
The meeting is now expected to be held on Wednesday, August 28.
No reason was given for the postponement.
This comes after ASUU leaders threatened to embark on a nationwide strike over 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.
The demands of ASUU include welfare matters, funding for universities and the need to stop the proliferation of universities across the country.
