Labour and Employment Minister Chris Ngige said President Muhammadu Buhari will soon decide on the controversial University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) and the condition of service for varsity teachers.
The inter-ministerial departments and agencies committees of the Federal Government will submit their reports on Wednesday to guide the President in making a decision.
The reports of the committees could bring an end to the four-month-old strike embarked on by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
Dr. Ngige gave the hint in a statement yesterday by his ministry’s spokesman Olajide Oshundun.
Yesterday, Ngige said last Thursday’s meeting was with the government side and not with ASUU members as assumed by their leadership.
He explained that the meeting was geared towards accelerating the resolution of the multiple strike actions on ASUU, Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU), and National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT).
