Governor Mu'azu Babangida Aliyu of Niger State, has denied a media report quoting him as saying that the team of negotiators on the side of the Federal Government in the ongoing talks with members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, is incompetent.
.
A national daily (not the Vanguard) had in a report, on Tuesday, quoted Governor Aliyu as "doubting the abilities of the negotiators on the side of the Federal Government to achieve any breakthrough in the ongoing dialogue with the lecturers."
.
But in a reaction, Governor Aliyu's spokesman, Danladi Ndayebo, described the story as untrue, urging the reading public to disregard the report.
.
He said the report was misleading and did not reflect Governor Aliyu's comments at the National Universities Commission, NUC, in Abuja where the Niger State's helmsman addressed a orkshop on the third Regional Centre of Expertise, RCE.
Government's negotiations is always up to them...It's something we as Nigerians will have to get used to as soon as possible. Let's go there!
