Latest On ASUU Strike: Lecturers To Meet On Monday To Decide If Strike Should Continue

The strike of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU)
has entered its fourth month, and lecturers of the government-
owned universities will on Monday hold a referendum to
make some decisions.
Local chapters of the Union in each campus have invited
members for the crucial meeting during which they will be
briefed on the outcome of the 13-hour long meeting ASUU
Executives had with the President Goodluck Jonathan and
other officials of the Federal Government.
The briefing will be followed by voting in favour or against
the continuation of the strike.
Though some members of the union are still sceptical about
the promise of the government, there are indications that the
referendum will favour ending the strike.
According to a union member, referendum is always
conducted before a strike is embarked upon or called off.
The ASUU embarked on a strike to demand the
implementation of the 2009 agreement with government on
July 1.
