Buhari wades into gale of varsities’ strikes as poly workers begin action Monday

- From Collins Olayinka, Abuja

BOTHERED by the gale of industrial actions in the tertiary education sector, President Muhammadu Buhari has relocated negotiatio­ns with tertiary- based labour unions to Aso Rock Presidenti­al Villa.

Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, disclosed notice of the negotiatio­ns to relevant stakeholde­rs. The meeting, which is scheduled to hold 4: 00 p. m. at the Banquet Hall, today, will be chaired by Chief of Staff to the President, Prof. Agboola Gambari.

The move indicates the President might have decided to have a more detailed and fact- based report coordinate­d by one of his most trusted personal staff.
