The House of Representatives has called for a truce between the Academic Staff Union, ASUU, and the management of the University of Abuja, over the current strike.
Hon. Abubakar Fulata, the Chairman, House Committee on University Education, said this when he received the Vice-Chancellor of the University, Prof. Abdul-Rasheed Na’Allah, and a team of ASUU members from the institution at the National Assembly on Tuesday in Abuja.
The lawmaker said the need to ensure non-disruption of academic activities led to the intervention, which made the Federal Government remove universities from the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System, IPPIS.
