ASUU however stressed the need for the federal government to come to the negotiation table with sincerity of purpose.
The president of ASUU, Professor BIODUN OGUNYEMI said the union welcomed the call with cautious optimism because the Federal Government had paid only lip service to past negotiations.
He advised the government to ensure that the essence of the renegotiation would be to reposition the universities for good.
The ASUU president said the union is also demanding for an increase in the budgetary allocation by the federal government to the education sector.
You will recall that President MUHAMMADU BUHARI approved the establishment of a Federal Government team to renegotiate the 2009 agreement with the staff unions in the Federal Universities, Federal Polytechnics and Federal Colleges of Education.
The 16-member team is chaired by Doctor WALE BABALAKIN who headed the agreement implementation committee in 2009.
