The Academic
Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) may call off its five-month strike. The
unions national executive council (NEC) has been on two days of marathon secret
meeting whih started yesterday at an undisclosed venue in Kano.
Eye witnesses who visited Bayero University Kano (BUK) old campus,
observed that vehicles belonging to Usman Danfodio University, Kaduna State
University, Ambrose Ali University and the University of Ibadan, among others
were parked at the premises.
However, it was learnt shortly after that all the
officials who are assembled at the venue boarded a bus, which conveyed them to
an undisclosed venue for the crucial meeting.
As at the time of filing this report, the meeting
was still in progress, while efforts to contact some of the officials for an
update failed as they all switched off their handsets.
It was however learnt that the latest news on asuu
strike 2013 is that there are strong indications that the strike may be called
off today (Saturday).
According to our investigation, asuu latest news is
that some of the NEC officials claimed ignorance of such an alleged meeting,
just as it also learnt that it may be an adhoc meeting for the preparation of
grounds for the proper NEC meeting.
However, it would be recalled that ASUU embarked on
the strike five months ago, due to the failure of the Federal Government to
implement the 2009 agreement it reached with the union.
The crisis between the Federal Government and ASUU
has been lingering for quite some time as both parties failed to reach a
compromise. This is the latest on asuu strike update/ asuu strike news. Keep
