Strike: ASUU, Mark in marathon meeting – The Nation

Senate President, David Mark and the Academic Staff Union
of Universities, on Monday held over three hours meeting
aimed at resolving the lingering strike by the union.
The closed door meeting was said to be at the instance of
Mark.
It was held at Mark's National Assembly office with ASUU
President, Nasir Fagge and other top officials of the union in
attendance.
Though Mark declined comment at the end of the meeting,
Fagge described the intervention of the Senate President in the
strike as "a welcome development."
The Senate in plenary had last week mandated Mark to
intervene in the over four months strike with a view to getting
ASUU members back to the classrooms.
Fagge told journalists that the Senate President invited them
to brief him about the issues at stake
He noted that Mark wanted to understand what the problems
are
Fagge said, "We have used the opportunity of our meeting to
inform him what the problem is to enable him take
appropriate step in the matter.
"We robbed minds and we keep saying that every intervention
to get this problem resolved and allow us to go back to our
classes and teach the students will be acceptable to the union.
"So the intervention by the Senate President is a welcome
development but we will await the outcome of the
intervention."
Asked whether the strike will be called off, the ASUU boss
declined comment.
