“We are eager to come together and engage in discussions with the government about the best ways to address this issue. We are willing. Let’s put aside what the Minister of Education has or hasn’t done, and what ASUU has or hasn’t done.
“I received calls from government officials today, indicating they are ready to resume discussions. Between tonight and tomorrow, I expect to hear from the Minister of Labour regarding their intentions to resolve this issue.
“ASUU is prepared; we are ready. We are available to discuss this matter once and for all,” he emphasized.
