The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) says it is ready to end the nationwide strike if the Federal Government signs the negotiated agreement.
This was disclosed by ASUU President, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, during an interview on Channels Television programme on Tuesday.
Among the union’s demands include investment in the nation’s university infrastructure, and payment of members’ salaries through the recommended University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS).
Osodeke said, “As far as ASUU is concerned, the strike can end tomorrow (Wednesday), we have finished the negotiations, let the government call us tonight that we should come tomorrow and sign the agreement, we will be there.
“Let government tell us they have finished testing the UTAS, we have accepted it. By tomorrow, (Wednesday) we will call off the strike. We are finished (with negotiations).
“We are just waiting, and challenging the government. When will they sign the agreement, and when will they accept UTAS? Those are the two questions we need to ask the Nigerian government.”
