He said the claim of the minister that ASUU had accepted the offers from Government was a blatant lie aimed at scuttling what the Prof Nimi Briggs’ Committee put to resolve the matter, thereby undermining the sincerity of the committee in resolving the issues. Speaking yesterday at the University of Jos (UNIJOS), Plateau State, ASUU zonal coordinator, Bauchi Zone, Prof Lawan Abubakar, lamented that Adamu had become the minister of education he had turned against ASUU and misleading and instigating other ministers and the public against the union.
