ASUU strike: Nigerian universities to open with or without ASUU.


In a last ditch effort to resolve the ASUU strike, president Goodluck Jonathan will on Monday, November 4, meet with the leadership of ASUU at the presidential villa.
This was part of the resolution of the meeting between the ASUU leadership, vice-president Namadi Sambo and the supervising minister of education on Tuesday as was first reported by this medium.
An official of the vice-president office who pleaded anonymity said that all hands are on deck to ensure that the universities resume next week. The official stated that the vice-president and the supervising minister of education have made head way on resolving the strike, but the final involvement of the president is to show ASUU that there is the commitment of the federal government at the highest level.

A source at the presidential villa noted that if ASUU fails to call off, the federal government will then resort to plan B, which will be to compulsorily open the universities using the instrumentality of the governing council and the school managements.

Pack your bags students, we are going back to school!!
