Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, the National President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has said that the union that will soon have a meeting to discuss on the directive of the National Industrial Court that the staff union should call off the industrial strike.
The Informant247 had earlier reported that the National Industrial Court has ordered the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, to call off the ongoing industrial strike.
“When we meet and deliberate on the ruling and other related issues, we will inform you,” he told newsmen on phone.
Comrade Usman Barambu, the National President of NANS, informed newsmen on Wednesday that the federal government must not see the legal ruling as a victory over the staff union.
“It is a win-win situation for all, the government, the students, parents and ASUU. It is not that the court has given the government a kind of victory over ASUU or that the government has boxed ASUU to a corner. As students, we are happy about the development as it a sort of progress being made regarding how to resolve the face-off.
“We implore the government to meet the demands of ASUU, as the court said negotiation will continue while the matter is being heard before the court. Also, the government should not because of the fact that the matter is still before the court take the issue of negotiation with ASUU with levity. It is still a running matter.
“As students, we are happy that academic activities may soon resume in our university campuses,” he said.
