ASUU National President, Emmanuel Osodeke disclosed that the academic body was still in negotiation with the government and that the strike would only be called off when all parties have reached agreements.

He added that pending when agreements would be reached between all parties, the strike still continues and urged lecturers to remain resolute on their demands.

The ASUU chairman stressed that students as well as parents should disregard statements being disseminated on different social media platforms and wait for the official statement from the union.

Meanwhile, Branches of ASUU will commence traditional voting today (Tuesday) and tomorrow (Wednesday) over the ongoing strike by the union, The PUNCH has reported.

The decision of the various branches will be transmitted to the National Executive Council for final decision.

“We got the directive after the meeting with the speaker yesterday (Monday). The intervention was timely. Branches will vote between today and tomorrow after which the decisions will be convened to the NEC,” the source said.
