The Academic Staff Union of Universities, or ASUU, has made it clear that a strike is unlikely to occur if the federal government implements agreements in the upcoming two weeks.
Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, the president of ASUU, mentioned this in a Monday interview with NAN.
Recall that ASUU had threatened to go on strike in response to the federal government’s failure to carry out agreements.
On June 26, Prof. Tahir Mamman, the Minister of Education, invited the union to a meeting to discuss the outstanding problems that universities face and ways to prevent the strike.
None of the agreements made with the Federal Government, according to Osodeke, have been put into practice.
“At the meeting called by the Minister of Education, we agreed that after two weeks, we will meet to see the progress the government has made.
“We will also see what we will do next if the government fail to implement the agreements reached.
“The meeting in the next two weeks is to see what they have done which will inform our decision,” he said.
