The president of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, declared that resolving ASUU’s ongoing strike will not take two weeks but less than two days.

Recall that the current ASUU strike entered day 155 on Tuesday, as we reported, which has kept public universities shut ever since. However, the striking lecturers have kept the resolve to keep pressing for their demands until FG answers them.

As reported on Tuesday, the Nigerian president, President Muhammadu Buhari, ordered the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, to resolve the ASUU crisis within two weeks and revert with feedback.

Meanwhile, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke reacted to Mr. President’s comments by saying that the two-week ultimatum was “too long,” adding that the union can suspend the strike in less than two days provided the FG honours its agreement with ASUU.

“Two weeks is too long. The issue of renegotiation has been completed by both sides, which means that one is gone.

“They should just come back to us and say ‘we have agreed, sign it’. That should not take two days,” Osodeke said.
