ASUU to call off seven months old strike

The president of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, has said the union will soon call off its eight-month-old strike.

Osodeke spoke at a meeting with the leadership of the House of Representatives in Abuja.

He said from what the union had seen at the meeting there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Osodeke hoped that the intervention by the leadership of the house would be the final for the sake of the students.

He added that ASUU’s struggle was for the educational and university system in the country.

Speaker, House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, said the intervention by the leadership of the house was fruitful.

Gbajabiamila also said the meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari was far-reaching.

Gbajabiamila said that the president’s decision would be made known to the union and the public on Oct. 11.
