The Federal Government has appealed to the striking members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities to exercise restraint in their demands from the government.
The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, said at a press conference in Abuja on Monday night ASUU’s problems with the government began during the Umaru Yar’Adua administration in 2009.
The minister said the Federal Government would have fulfilled its obligations to ASUU if international oil prices had not crashed after 2009.
Adamu said previous administrations made promises to the union when the economy was buoyant.
