She said: “Federal Government is ready to dialogue with every union of the higher institutions and will fulfill every agreement entered into with any of the unions, especially the latest with ASUU.”
Professor Rufa’i commended the ASUU for understanding, assuring that government would do all it could to implement the terms of agreement, adding that gone were the days where agreement reached with unions suffered implementation.
The minister also appreciated parents and students who were mostly affected by the strike for their patience and understanding throughout the period the strike lasted.
