This may come as good to the Nigerian Students, who have benn frustrated by the inresponsiveness by the Govt.
Indications emerged in Abuja on Tuesday in Abuja that the leaders of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) may yield to pressure from the public and call off the over three months old strike that has grounded academic activities in public universities.
Tempers have already began to rise from both parents and students over the protracted strike by the ASUU. The strike which was embarked on by the ASUU on 1st July, 2013 to press home for the implementation of the 2009 agreement with the Federal Government has defied all possible solution.

The Supervising Minister of Education, Barrister Nyesom Wike, speaking on Tuesday at anniversary lecture of the National Universities Commission tagged NUC @ 50+1, marking the 50th anniversary celebration in retrospect, also confirmed that the strike would soon be called off by the ASUU.

Represented by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education, Dr. MacJohn Nwaobiala, Wike said government was concerned and is doing all it could to ensure the lecturers return to classrooms.

Based on the fresh agreement between the Federal Government and ASUU, the leadership of ASUU was supposed to brief its members at meeting after the Eid-el-kabir celebration.
Our close source gathered that ASUU actually met on Tuesday at an undisclosed venue, raising hope that they might come up with positive position. Though as at the time of writing this report, no clear information on the resolution of ASUU meeting was obtained.

After all the efforts by the immediate past Minister of Education, Professor Ruqayyatu Ahmed Rufa’i, joined by the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chief Emeka Wogu to resolve the impasse failed, not even the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim who later took over the mediatory role could resolve the crisis.

Now the battle ground has been shifted the ASO ROCK Presidential Villa, with the Vice-President, Arc. Namadi Sambo as chief negotiator.
