Indications have emerged that the Academic Staff Union of Universities may call off the over four-month-old strike on Thursday. Barring a last-minute change, the National Executive Committee of ASUU will meet on Wednesday night to consider the position of the congresses of the over 50 public universities on the offer made by the Federal government to revamp the institutions.
The union met with a Federal Government team led by President Goodluck Jonathan last Tuesday in Abuja. The ASUU leadership, after briefing the zonal coordinators on the offer, had directed the local branches to organise congress meetings between Friday last week and Tuesday (tomorrow)
This will no longer happen soon because of the death of former ASUU president Prof. Festus Iyayi. Can you imagine what reckless drives of governor's convoy have done? This is a governor who survived a car crash in the past because of reckless driving by his drivers.
