Reps To Meet Buhari On Tuesday on ASUU Strike

The leadership of the House of Representatives has scheduled a date to visit President Muhammadu Buhari over the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities.

According to Punch, the visit will take place on Tuesday.

The PUNCH had reported that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila, said the House will prepare the report of the House’s intervention in the ongoing strike and meet the President on the matter.
