The Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, on Saturday urged the Federal Government and Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to quickly resolve the protracted dispute between the two parties in the interest of Nigerians, IgbereTV reports
Lawan, who made the call in a statement issued by his media aide, Ola Awoniyi, to mark this year’s International Workers’ Day, demanded a swift end to the union’s 65-day-old strike.
He reaffirmed the Senate’s commitment to the welfare of workers in the country.
ASUU embarked on a 30-warning strike on February 14 to protest the federal government’s failure to honour agreements signed by both parties.
The union extended the strike by another eight weeks on March 14 over the government’s recalcitrant position on the matter
