The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, may suspend
its ongoing industrial action soon.
A member of the union, who spoke with our correspondent on
condition of anonymity, said the striking lecturers are currently considering
suspending the three months strike.
According to him, the suspension may last for just three
months, saying that negotiations with the Federal Government would continue
during the grace period.
He said the failure of the government to meet the demands of ASUU within the three months would lead to an indefinite strike.
This is coming a few hours after President Muhammadu Buhari
appealed to the union to consider the suffering of students and call off the
strike.
The union commenced a warning strike on February 14 over the
inability of the Federal Government to meet its demands and implement some
agreements the two parties entered into previously.
The industrial action was on Monday, May 9, extended by
another 12 weeks, which is expected to elapse on August 9.
