The National Executive Council of the Academic Staff Union of Universities will take a decision on its eight-month long strike on Thursday at an emergency meeting, even though the meeting may extend to Friday morning.
IGBERE TV gathered that branches of the Union will begin consultations Wednesday over a possibility of calling off the ongoing Strike.
The new development comes on the heels of the meeting with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, who called several meetings between the Union and the Federal Government.
Recall that the lead counsel for ASUU, Femi Falana, SAN, had also explained that the strike would be over in a few days.
ASUU had, on Monday, February 14, 2022, embarked on a strike over what the Union described as the failure of the government to meet its lingering demands.
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, after what he described as “failed negotiations”, dragged the striking lecturers to the National Industrial Court.
The National Industrial Court had on September 21 ordered ASUU to call off the strike.
