The meeting is expected to hold on September 6, 2022, at the NUC
secretariat in Abuja.
This was convened in a letter written by the Deputy Executive
Secretary, Administration, of the NUC, Chris Maiyaki and addressed to all
pro-chancellors, chairmen of councils, and vice-chancellors of Federal
universities.
“As the Pro-Chancellors and Chairmen of Councils and the
Vice-Chancellors are quite aware the industrial action by university-based
unions has led to the closure of the institutions since February 2022.
“You
are also aware that the non-teaching unions have suspended their industrial
actions with effect from August 24, 2022, while a final decision is being
awaited from ASUU.
“It has become necessary for the Governing Councils and the
managements of the universities to be briefed on the decisions and actions
taken by the Federal Government so far to allow a for a well-coordinated review
of the situation including building consensus around succeeding actions.
“Consequently, I am to invite the Pro-Chancellors & Chairmen
of Councils as well as Vice-Chancellors of Federal Universities to a special
interactive meeting with the Honourable Minister of Education on Tuesday,
September 6, 2022.”
