ASUU strike update: ASUU to consult local chapters this week, may call off strike on Thursday.

The academic staff union of universities is expected to consult with its local chapters across the federation this week in the form of congresses, after which the national executive committee of the association will indicate whether the strike is off on Thursday or not.

The aim of holding the congresses is for local chapters to review government's offer and decide whether it is suitable enough to call off the strike. Some of the chapters consulted have indicated that they are pleased with the government latest offer to inject N220 billion into the university system annually for the next five years.

How ever some others do not have faith that government will stick to the letter of its agreement. Yet there are still strong indications that the NEC of the union will call off the strike this week, so students can begin resuming by the weekend.
