The new Minister for Education, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau who assumed office today has been charged with immediate effect to end the current crisis rocking the tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
.
He has swung into action immediately by convening a meeting at the headquarters of the ministry in Abuja with the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP).
.
The meeting is currently ongoing and we are made to believe that a lasting solution will be derived from the meeting so that the polytechnic lecturers will suspend the ongoing strike action.

We keep our fingers crossed for the outcome of the meeting which we hope
will be positive.
