“In  reference to the strike notice served the Federal Government by ASUU, I hereby call on both the Federal Government and the Union to hold  patriotic and fair dialogue in order to avert another trade dispute”

” ASUU Strike which translates to a major disruption of our academic calendar as well as the careers of our youths”

The Chairman House Committee on Reformatory Institutions emphasized that amicable resolution of issues is necessary to ensure smooth academic programme.
