The Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Education, SONNY ECHONO, has said most of the agreements reached with the Academic Staff Union of Universities were under duress. 

ECHONO stated this during a retreat organized by the governing council of the University of Abuja. 

ASUU and the Federal Government have constantly been engaged in tussles over the latter’s failure to meet some of the demands put forward by ASUU. 

Meanwhile reports say that ASUU would decide whether to go on strike or not following the end of its scheduled zonal conferences scheduled in Abuja, Nsukka, Ibadan, Yola, Benin, Akure, Lagos, Bauchi, Owerri, Port Harcourt, Calabar, Sokoto and Kano on December 15, 2021.
