The Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Julius Okojie, announced the new date while addressing journalists in Abuja on Tuesday.
Mr. Okojie explained that "Government decided to shift the deadline after it received notification of Prof. Festus Iyayi's funeral rites slated for between December 5 and 7.
Mr. Iyayi, a former President of ASUU, died on November 12, 2013 in auto crash in Lokoja on his way to attend the association's meeting in Kano. The accident was reportedly caused by the convoy of the Kogi State Governor, Idris Wada.
The ASUU boss explained that the government's letter after the meeting with President Jonathan was not a total reflection of what transpired during the meeting.
"In the ordinary meaning of the word "resolution" the government's letter was not a resolution. The document was a report of Government's understanding of the decisions or agreement reached on the matters discussed with ASUU," he said.
