ASUU has concluded to continue consulting, and have agreed to get back to the Federal Government (FG) on Friday 27th Nov, after their consultations. The Academic Staff Union of Universities, today, says all the branches, which are over 70, will participate in the decision to either call – off the strike or not.

ASUU President, Prof Ogunyemi said “We are reporting back to the government on Friday. That is when the consultation will end.”
