Strike: FG, Non-teaching Varsity Workers Reach Agreement to call off strike

“Finally, it was agreed that the union members should not be victimised on account of this journey they have undertaken to go on strike and the unions also are to revert to government on Wednesday, September 20, after presenting this to their National Executive Councils.”
Samson Ugwoke, the National Chairman of JAC, commended the labour minister for his honesty and commitment in ensuring that the strike was called off.
Ugwoke said: “We have all dotted these items one by one and agreed on them, but you know we are messengers; we were sent here by our principals and we cannot endorse any of these as either an agreement or MOU.
“So, what we agreed on today, on these issues that we have put our heads together on, will be taken back to our various National Executive Councils for deliberation and we will report by Wednesday, September 20.”
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the meeting between the Federal Government and the unions lasted about 11 hours.
