He reiterated the government’s commitment to solve the problem raised by the union, saying the President of the Tinubu Bola had mandated the ministry to find an eternal solution that would make Nigerian children attend school.
The minister stressed that the government was not interested in “fake or non -sustainable agreements” but in reaching an agreement that could be implemented and constitutionally supported.
He showed that the new Asuu protest would not decline to be a strike, because the government had involved the union “continuously and carefully.”
The union has been, for a week, threatening to carry out a new strike over the failure of the federal government to overcome its demands.
Alausa said: “We are committed to solving this problem once and for all. What has survived since the 2009 and 2021 agreements will now be handled in a sustainable manner.
