A crucial meeting of the National Executive Council (NEC) of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, will take place this Sunday night/Monday morning to decide on whether the union will continue its over six-month strike or call it off.
ASUU commenced a nationwide industrial action on February 14 and has continued to extend it as there has been no substantial agreement with the government.
The strike has drawn different reactions from the public especially parents of students, many of who have expressed disappointment with the union for wasting the time of their wards.
On August 1, ASUU announced extension of the strike by another four weeks.
The NEC meeting promises to be a decisive one and may determine whether the government would suspend the union as is being rumoured in some quarters
Reports say parents and students are keeping their ears wide open to hear the outcome of the striking lecturers.
