The government will consider "options" to stop the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) from proceeding with its industrial activity.
Minister of Labor and Employment, Chris Ngige, talked on a Channels Television's Politics Today on Friday.
"There are so many options left. We have the labour laws and I have options left to me in the labour laws. I have other channels," he said.
Ngige made complains that the association was not considering the difficulties their requests would cause.
The Minister said regardless of whether nations do battle, they in the long run meet at the arrangement table.
"I’m inviting them (ASUU) next week, we are doing side meetings on our part. I’m collating responses from the Accountant General of the Federation’s Office and everybody who has something to do with this matter."
On the arrival of students to classes, Ngige said he was confident that it would not take long.
Ngige communicated points that discussions concerning the issue will be closed one week from now.
Ngige affirmed that government had consented to evaluate University Transparency Academic Solution (UTAS), the installment stage ASUU proposed when it turned down the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS).
The previous Anambra State Governor said National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) had finished the main period of UTAS appraisal.
