The Intervention Committee set up to intervene and resolve the ongoing KSU ASUU strike under the Chairmanship of Rt. Hon. Umar A. Imam, Speaker Kogi State House of Assembly met Monday 11th July.Representatives of both the government and ASUU presented their points and what in their opinion they feel is the way forward and panacea to ending the strike.The meeting was very successful and the House of Assembly leadership led by Rt. Hon. Umar A. Imam was to present the template for resolving the strike to His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, Executive Governor of Kogi State that Monday evening but the official engagement of His Excellency that has on avoidably kept him outside the state prevented the meeting as planned.Consequent upon Governor Yahaya Bello's interest and commitment to seeing that the strike comes to an end, he shelved some of his scheduled official engagements to meet with the Assembly leadership. The meeting started yesterday 13th July and will be hopefully concluded this evening 14th July, 2016.The Committee is hopeful that by tomorrow, everything possible will be put in place for ASUU to call off the ongoing KSU strike to enable students resume next week Monday.Chairman of the Intervention Committee, Rt. Hon. Imam plead with students to exercise a little more patience as both government and ASUU will soon reach a common ground.The Committee therefore call on all students involved in the ongoing protest to return back to their homes in the interest of the innocent commuters and the people of Kogi State in general.— NIHI (For The Intervention Committee)From Odaudu Joel Minister wall.
