The meeting is being chaired by the Academic Vice Chancellor Dr Okello Ogwang and the finance director Prof. Banabus Niwangwa.
On Monday, the Makerere staff issued a 3-day ultimatum to the University management to come up with an explanation why it has failed to clear the 70 percent incentive for May and June.
The staff wrote a letter addressed to the university council, advising the university not to open for the new semester if their incentive amounting to over Shs4 billion is not cleared.
