A statement on Tuesday night signed by the Deputy Director Press in the Ministry, Samuel Olowookere said the the Tuesday’s meeting took significant steps towards the quick resolution of the issues raised by ASUU.

The statement said that the meeting particularly agreed on the forensic audit of the sum of 30 billion Naira earlier given to ASUU in 2010 and further agreed on monthly remittances to ASUU while the audit lasts.

“The Minister hence wishes to assure members of ASUU, in deed all Nigerians that government is already at work to resolve all outstanding issues in line with the resolve of the present administration to cast any form of disruption of universities’ academic calendar into the dust bin of history.”
