The Chairman of the UNIABUJA chapter of the union, Dr Ben Ugheoke told Daily Times in an exclusive interview that presently the union is to meet at the national level having concluded consultations at the zonal level, and that only the NEC of the union can make pronouncement on when the strike will be suspended.
In a related development, the National President of ASUU, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi, has maintained that the union will not disclose when it will hold its meetings to consider the Federal Government’s offers, aimed at resolving the ongoing strike.
Prof. Ogunyemi who also spoke to Daily Times on telephone, while responding to inquiry as to when the union would meet to examine the Federal Government’s offers and resolve the strike, said they wouldn’t want to be ambushed or stampeded but preferred being allowed to take their decision without let.
Recall that the union and the Federal Government’s delegation held a 14-hour meeting on Thursday, after which they issued a communiqué, in which ASUU was asked to revert to the government within one week.
The ASUU President had on Friday said in an interview that he could not determine when the union would call off its strike until its members met to decide the next course of action.
This is also as the National Association of Nigerian Students on Saturday promised to meet the ASUU executives and consider the government’s offers with a view to ending the strike.
The NANS spokesperson, Okereafor, had said this in a statement released in Enugu State.

When contacted to comment on when the union would meet to consider the government’s positions, the #ASUU President said in a text message, “Good morning. Sorry. We don’t tell outsiders the arrangements of our meetings.
