The ongoing mediation between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union Of Universities(ASUU) is yet to yield any positive outcome despite pleas of many Nigerian students.
The Nation reports that some branches of ASUU are yet to reach an agreement on whether to accept Federal Government’s offer to end the near-a-year strike.
Although reports have been gathered that all branches of ASUU will hold a meeting in order to reconcile their differences on Friday, November 27th.
Reports gathered from the Nation also said that ASUU may have a decision to vote on since some of the union branches are insisting that the Federal Government must meet all the demands of the body before the strike is called off.
