The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, is meeting with representatives of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in Abuja.
The meeting started around 5 pm on Monday and is part of last-minute efforts by the federal government to end the recurring industrial action by ASUU.
The union began its latest strike on 14 February over the government's refusal to fulfill agreements reached with the union.
