In the meeting held today between ASUU and FG, progress was made as FG had agreed to put ASUU’s “UTAS” payment software to an integrity test.

“Meeting resumes tomorrow between ASUU and FG.”

“We’re making progress and we urge you all to remain hopeful as we bring a favourable solution to end the ongoing strike” , ASUU updated via its official twitter handle.
