The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said that a strike is not imminent if the federal government implements the agreements reached with it in the next two weeks.

ASUU president, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, stated this in an interview on Monday.

ASUU had threatened to go on strike in response to the government's failure to carry out their agreements.

On 26 June, the minister of education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, invited the union to a meeting to discuss the unresolved issues impacting universities and how to prevent a strike.

“At the meeting called by the minister of education, we agreed that after two weeks, we will meet to see the progress the government has made,” Prof. Osodeke said on Monday.

“We will also see what we will do next if the government fails to implement the agreements reached.

“The meeting in the next two weeks is to see what they have done which will inform our decision,” he added.
