The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) decision on whether to commence an indefinite strike action or not as we learned will finally be taken at a meeting of the national executive council (NEC) members which is to hold by 12 midnight on Sunday.
The meeting, which is tagged “NEC for NEC”, is an extension of an ongoing two-day meeting of NEC members which has been reviewing the positions of each of the branches of the union on the sensitive matter of whether to declare industrial action or not.
The NEC meeting, which commenced on Saturday at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka, was a follow-up to earlier public engagement and sensitization congress meetings of the various branches which necessitated the declaration of lecture-free periods across the various campuses.
The union had earlier hinted it would communicate its decision to the media on Monday.
