ASUU Strike: We will Sign Documents In Two Days — Osodeke

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said it would sign some documents as regards its ongoing strike.

The union's president, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke disclosed this after a closed-door meeting between lectures and the leadership of the House of Representatives, on Monday, over the prolonged industrial action.

Osodeke led the lecturers while the House of Representatives led by its speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila to the meeting which lasted about 30 minutes before another one was done before the camera.

This is the first in the series of meetings between ASUU and the lawmakers of the lower chamber, after the ruling by the Court of Appeal on Friday ordering the lecturers to end their strike and resume immediately.

Speaking on the outcome of the closed-door meeting, Gbajabiamila stated that President Muhammadu Buhari would make a major announcement regarding the ASUU strike.

Osodeke also said the union would sign some documents in the next couple of days which will be taken to their members for ratification.

ASUU has been on strike since February 14 due to the government's failure to meet its demands.
