ASUU to hold emergency meeting, may call off strike before Monday

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is reportedly set to hold an emergency meeting on its industrial strike on Wednesday.

An insider told newsmen that the outcome of the meeting would then be sent to the union’s national body, which is expected to have a meeting on Thursday during which a decision on the lingering strike would be made.

“They are planning to call it off very soon. All schools are planning to hold an emergency meeting tomorrow. They have called for it,” the source said.

“When they vote, they will send their decision to the national body. And by Thursday, the national body will meet, take a decision, and announce it.”

The source also added that Femi Gbajabiamila, speaker of the house of representatives, played a key role in the progress made with the federal government.
