Governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have urged the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, to embrace dialogue in resolving its grievances with the Federal Government.
The governors made the appeal at the end of a two-day meeting of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, PGF, held in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, between October 16 and 17, 2025.
Reading the communiqué after the meeting, the forum’s chairman and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, said negotiation remained the most effective approach to resolving disputes in the education sector.
He urged the lecturers to return to the dialogue table in the interest of the nation’s education system.
