A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Femi Falana on Monday said that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) will soon call off its nearly eight-month strike.
Recall that the Federal Government and ASUU since February 14 have been at loggerheads over demands of proper funding of the university educational system to a global standard.
After several attempt by the government for ASUU to end the strike with no result, the government filed a suit against the academic union which the court ordered them to resume immediately and call off the strike.
But ASUU through it counsel, Falana filed another suit to appeal the judgement which eventually didn’t go in the favour of the union as the appeal court in Abuja also order the union to call off the strike and resume lectures for students.
Following this the Union’s Lawyer while speaking at a book launch ‘Breaking Coconut With Your Head’ by Lanre Arogundade in Lagos hinted that the industrial action will be concluded outside the courtroom in his reaction to the appellate court’s order that the public universities’ lecturers should return to classrooms.
