The Academic Staff Union of Universities has expressed hope that its industrial action will end in the next few days.

Lecturers of public universities have been on strike since February 14, 2022, over poor welfare and unpaid Earned Academic Allowance.

Speaker of the house of Representatives, FEMI GBAJABIAMILA has said the country would soon hear from President MUHAMMADU BUHARI on the protracted ASUU strike.

GBAJABIAMILA, who met with the President at the State House for the second time in one week over the ASUU strike, said discussions with the President were fruitful, adding that president Buhari would make known his decisions to the public after reviewing the lawmakers’ recommendations.

Meanwhile, at a meeting with the speaker, GBAJABIAMILA and other members of the green chamber, OSODEKE  urged the lawmakers to work alongside university lecturers to end the rift.
