5 months strike: President Buhari addresses ASUU, gives 1 strong directive
The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities had been given a directive to end the ongoing strike action.
The directive was handed to the union by President Muhammadu Buhari during a meeting with some key members of the APC including governors.
According to the president, ASUU should sympathise with students, parents and Nigerians as a whole.
Finally, ASUU agrees to call off strike, gives 2 major conditions
ASUU had finally agreed to call off its long strike action but reiterated that it will only happen if the federal government meets two major demands.
The president of ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osedeke said the only reason why the strike will be called off is if the federal agrees to the UTAS payment platform and concur with the 2009 treaty.
He, however, stated that the agitation against the government was in the best interest of Nigerian students.
