The minister noted that NITDA said it cannot even approve UTAS at 99.9 per cent of vulnerability and integrity

But ASUU has consistently accused NITDA of deliberately frustrating its efforts. It said the government agency was being vindictive over the union’s refusal to accept the professorial award for the minister of communications and digital economy, Ibrahim Pantami.The minister debunked the allegation that his style of handling the crisis has been responsible for the delay in resolution.

“However, when conciliation fails, the minister is under obligation by sections 9 and 14 of Trade Disputes Act, Cap T8, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria to transmit the results of the negotiation to the Industrial Arbitration Panel or to National Industrial Court of Nigeria ,” he said.

He added: “But let me tell you. There is nothing new about the ASUU strike. It has been a recurrent decimal. In the last 20 years, ASUU has gone on strike, sixteen times. So, there is nothing new as such. He said the government had implemented the policy in 2020 when the striking lecturers refused to resume, but that he pleaded with the government to rescind its decision.
