The National Executive Council of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) will take a decision on its eight-month long strike on Thursday at an emergency meeting, even though the meeting may extend to Friday morning.

Also, branches of the Union will begin consultations Wednesday over a possibility of calling off the ongoing strike, Okay.ng has learnt.

Okay.ng reports that the new development comes on the heels of the meeting with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, who called several meetings between the Union and the Federal Government.

The lead counsel for ASUU, Femi Falana, SAN, had said while addressing newsmen that the strike would be over in a few days.

ASUU had, on Monday, February 14, 2022, embarked on a strike over what the Union described as the failure of the government to meet its lingering demands.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, after what he described as “failed negotiations”, dragged the striking lecturers to the National Industrial Court.

The National Industrial Court had on September 21 ordered ASUU to call off the strike.

The court granted the motion on notice filed by the Federal Government directing the lecturers to return to classrooms.

Ruling on the interlocutory injunction, the trial judge, Polycarp Hamman, restrained ASUU from continuing with the industrial action pending the determination of the suit filed against it by the Federal Government.
Displeased by the ruling, the Union headed to the Appellate Court to appeal the ruling.

It also filed a stay of execution of the ruling of the Industrial Court.
