President Muhammadu Buhari-led government has been given a three-week ultimatum by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) over failure to fulfill lingering demands.

This is coming after members of the Senior Staff Association of Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities met to decide its next plan over the failure of the Federal Government to answer to its demands.

The Federal Government last year had signed a memorandum of understanding with the unions promising to fulfill demands ranging from payment of earned allowances, introduction of the UTAS platform for University workers, payment of revitalization fund for Universities among others.
