The two parties adjourned their meeting till Monday after the meeting held last Wednesday ended in a deadlock.

The Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, announced the continuation of the meeting on his Twitter handle on Wednesday.

He wrote: “Our discussions/negotiations with the Academic Staff Union of Universities continue today (Monday).

The meeting is expected to decide on the platform for the disbursement of the varsity lecturers’ salaries and allowance.
