The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) may call off its one-month old strike this week.

Its president, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, told The Nation correspondent on phone the union has not called off the strike because it was still ironing out some grey areas in the agreement with federal government.

He assured the strike would be called off as soon as the grey areas were resolved.

The federal government had promised to meet demand of ASUU with release of about N220 billion not later than October 2017 to fund the revitalisation of federal universities as well as pay shortfall of salaries and accumulated allowances.
