The Federal Government has tendered an apology to students and parents for the eight-months long strike of the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
According to Daily Post, The FG through the ministry of Labour and Employment headed by Dr. Chris Ngige gave the apology via a statement.
ASUU’s leadership announced the conditional suspension of the industrial action on Friday.
Reacting to the development, the Ministry of Labour and Employment further thanked all those involved in the negotiations leading to the calling off of the strike.
The Deputy Director of Press in the Ministry, Olajide Oshundun, in the statement wrote, “Now that ASUU has decided to obey the judgement of the National Industrial Court by calling off the devastating action, we apologize to all students and parents, of which the Honorable Minister is one, for this unduly prolonged strike, which is unwarranted ab initio.”
It added that “a groundwork is being laid, of which we are confident, will save Nigerians, this unpalatable experience of incessant strikes in future.”
