The Federal Government has restated its commitment to the renegotiation of the conditions of service of all workers in public universities across the country.
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige said this when he received members of the government side of the 2009 Federal Government/University based unions agreement re-negotiation committee led by its Chairman, Professor Nimi Briggs, on Monday in Abuja.
Ngige said this in a statement signed by the Acting Head, Press and Public Relations, in the ministry, Patience Onuobia.
The minister was speaking against the backdrop of the ongoing strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
He said that as the conciliator, he has been pushing to see that everything contained in the 2020 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by the government and the union was done, including the implementation of the renegotiated positions.
