Following a resolution signed by both the federal government
and the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, yesterday, indications have
emerged that the five-month-old strike is likely to be called off by Monday.
Briefing newsmen, the Supervising Minister of Education,
Chief Nyesom Wike, said the meeting was called to sign the resolution on the
agreements reached at the final negotiation between the federal government and
ASUU.
ASUU had embarked on a nation-wide strike in July over what
it described as the non- implementation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement.
"Today, I am very pleased to announce that all
contending issues between ASUU and the federal government have been resolved to
the satisfaction of the parties," the minister said.
