The two-day meeting of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has dragged to Monday where the National Executive Council will take a stand whether to go on another strike or not.
The union had said it would conclude its meeting on Sunday where it would decide what to do from today Monday, but as it is that has not been possible.
Members of NEC, including ASUU leaders across campuses, had been in a meeting at the University of Lagos, Akoka and would have the final lap of the meeting by 12 midnight Monday.
They promised to address a press conference on Monday (today) to announce the resolutions of the two-day meeting titled, ‘NEC for NEC.
There was anxiety among university students and parents last night over fear that the union may declare fresh strike.
The meeting which has been holding in the Ade Ajayi Auditorium in UNILAG where they started on Saturday has shifted to Tayo Aderinokun Lecture Hall on Sunday.
ASUU decided to embark on the two-day meeting after it had sensitised and mobilised lecturers and students across all universities on the reason the union might likely go on strike.
While the sensitisation was ongoing, the co-chairmen of the National Inter-religious Council; President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Dr Samson Ayokunle; and the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Abubakar III, visited the President, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), over the lack of implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding the government signed with ASUU in 2009 and others.
But ASUU national president, Prof. Emmanuel Oshodeke, and other leaders across the campuses insisted that the Federal Government could not be trusted following its consistent refusal to implement the Memorandum of Action it signed with the union, leading to the suspension of the 2020 strike action.
