The Federal Government says it will honour promises made to the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, to prevent disruptive strikes, encourage uninterrupted academic programmes and improve funding of educational institutions.
President Muhammadu Buhari gave the assurance on Tuesday at the Presidential villa, Abuja while receiving members of the Nigeria Inter-Religious Council, NIREC, led by the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, and the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Samson Ayokunle.
The President, however, commended the leadership of NIREC for intervening in the year-long strike by ASUU and holding consultations with the parties.
