Barring a last-minute change, the Academic Staff Union of Universities may call off its indefinite strike on Thursday (today).
The Court of Appeal had last Friday, ordered the union to call off its strike.
The House of Representatives also intervened in the matter, raising the hope that the union may call off the strike soon.
Most of the over 123 branches of the union have completed their congresses on the lingering strike.
While some universities voted for the suspension of the strike, others voted for conditional suspension.
One of our correspondents, however, gathered that at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, the branch did not reach a consensus.
A source within the branch said, “No agreement was reached. Members agreed to follow the decision of the union’s National Executive Committee. Remember, we were on strike before the national body declared a strike.”
