Academic Staff Union of Universities began on an indefinite strike in March over a disagreement with the government on the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) and funding of the universities.

The meeting, according to the ministry spokesman, Mr Charles Akpan, would address numerous pending matters, including the contentious payment platform preferred by the union.
