The National President of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, has said that the leadership of the Union will hold a meeting to deliberate on the order given by the National Industrial Court.
Osodeke said; “When we meet and deliberate on the ruling and other related issues, we will inform you.’’
CEOAFRICA had reported that the Federal Government in a suit, had prayed for the order for ASUU to call off its seven months strike.
The National President of NANS, Comrade Usman Barambu, in an interview with Newsmen on Wednesday, said that the Federal Government must not see the ruling as a victory over ASUU.
Baramdu said; “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 is 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 taking 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.’’
