ASUU refutes plan to call off strike

As the ASUU strike enters its 27^th day, ASUU has shattered the hopes of Nigerian students as it affirms that the news making rounds about ASUU going to call off strike by Thursday is only hypothetical.

ASUU national president Dr. Nasir Fagge expressed his surprise as he heard that the union was going to call off strike on Thursday. This is because according to him the issues between FG and ASUU have not been fully resolved.

He however agreed that there is a meeting scheduled today (Monday) and Thursday between ASUU and FG. The meeting is designed to look at the assignments given to several people who attended the previous meeting last week Friday he said. He also said ASUU will relate to its members after the meeting before a decision can be reached by the union.

Dr Fagge also applauded the positive outlook and concern of the Joint Senate and House of Representative committee on education towards the resolution of the crisis.
