The proposed meeting between the Federal Government and members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) scheduled to hold today has been postponed.

President of ASUU, Emmanuel Osodeke, confirmed that the planned meeting which was to prevent another ASUU strike, will no longer be held as announced by the Minister of Education on Friday.

Although no reason was given for the postponement, the meeting is now expected to be held on Wednesday, August 28.
