Other government representatives at the meeting are the permanent secretaries at the ministries of Education, as well as Labour and Employment, and some directors from the ministries.
In his welcome remarks, Senator Ngige said he was hoping that the meeting would be the final negotiation that would resolve the lingering industrial crisis.
On his part, the ASUU President was hopeful that the discussion would not take long like the previous ones held.
Both parties are meeting after a series of negotiation following the nationwide industrial action by the lecturers since November 2018.
The minister and the ASUU President had told reporters at the end of the meeting held on Friday last week that progress was being made to address the issues raised by the striking lecturers.
Although they did not give any specific detail, they promised to address a press conference at the end of today’s meeting.
