Breaking: Finally, ASUU To Call Off Strike Once FG Signs Agreement – Osodeke

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said it is ready to call off its nationwide industrial action immediately if the Federal Government signs the negotiated agreement.

ASUU on February 14 embarked on a strike to press home its demand, including the government’s investment in the nation’s university infrastructure, and payment of members’ salaries through the recommended University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS), among several others.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, ASUU President, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke said the union is waiting for a positive response from President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

“As far as ASUU is concerned, the strike can end tomorrow, we have finished the negotiations, let the government call us this night that we should come tomorrow and sign the agreement, we will be there,” Osodeke said.
