Osinbajo, APC governors seek to end ASUU strike

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have agreed to work together towards bringing an end to the indefinite strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

They also agreed to engage in finding lasting solutions to the economic situation in the country.

These were some of the highlights of the discussions when the APC governors paid Osinbajo a visit in his office at the Presidential Villa on Tuesday.

The visit was to felicitate with the VP as he recovers from the surgery done last month.

While welcoming the governors, Prof. Osinbajo expressed his appreciation for the visit and the good wishes.

The VP also commended the expertise of Nigerian doctors, and the availability of cutting edge medical facilities existing in the country. But he regretted that doctors are restrained by regulations to advertise and as a result, many people are unaware of the level of quality medical services available locally.

During the brief interaction that followed at the meeting, important national issues were also raised, especially regarding the economy and the ASUU strike.

The vice president and the governors then agreed to engage these and other pressing issues further with a view to bringing urgent resolution for the benefit of the Nigerian people.

The vice president said: “We all need to work together on this critical issues. We need to think through things, and we need to do it fast.”
