Amid the ASUU strike, the Federal Government has insisted that tertiary institutions will soon be reopened.

 

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige noted this during the FEC meeting held on Wednesday, June 22.

 

The meeting was presided over by President Buhari at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

 

Ngige denied the allegation that the Federal Government was planning to create a different payment table for the unions.

 

He said the government had summoned all the relevant agencies, including the National Information Development Agency (NITDA).

 

This was to brief them on the success so far in resolving the lingering issues that led to the unions’ ongoing strike.

 

Ngige said the Federal government is interested in seeing the students return to school.
