The much anticipated meeting between the executive members of ASUU and President Goodluck Jonathan over the lingering industrial action was delayed on Monday due to some protocol issues.
Although the President is back in the country from his trip to London, ASUU officials that were supposed to meet with him are already in Abuja and awaiting further directive from the State House inviting them for the meeting.
A source at the State House, however, attributed the delay to protocol issues, stating that the proposed meeting was not included in the Presidents official itinerary for Monday.
ASUU which concluded its NEC meeting in Kano at the weekend was expected to present some of their resolutions to the President before the strike which has lasted for almost five months would be suspended.
At press time last night, it was gathered that the union may have presented some conditions unofficially to the Federal Government as prerequisite for calling off the strike.
This, a source said, may not have gone down well with the Presidency.
