The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) will, on Thursday, decide on the suspension of its 8-month-old strike, Daily Trust reports.
Rumours were rife on Monday that the lecturers had called off the strike but a member of the National Executive Council of the union, who pleaded anonymity, said the strike had not been called off yet.
What is flying around is just a mere rumour. There are ways how to handle this type of issue in ASUU. Our NEC will meet on Thursday to take a decision,” the official said.
Recall that the appeal court sitting in Abuja had earlier on asked ASUU members to obey the order of the national industrial court and return to the classroom after eight months of strike before it could entertain their appeal.
The appeal court insisted that the lecturers must adhere to the interlocutory order of the national industrial court (NIC), which had on Wednesday, September 21, 2022 ordered the aggrieved university lecturers to return to the classroom till the court determines the legal action instituted against them by the federal government.
