The union has been vocal about its demands, which include significant improvements in welfare, increased funding for universities, and a halt to the proliferation of universities across the country.

As the nation waits with bated breath for the rescheduled meeting, one thing is clear: the fate of Nigeria’s education system hangs in the balance.

The government and ASUU must work together to find a lasting solution to the issues that have been hindering the progress of the country’s universities.

The postponement may be seen as a temporary reprieve, but it is essential that both parties use this extra time to reflect on their positions and come to the negotiating table with a willingness to compromise. The future of Nigeria’s youth depends on it.
