Let all of us working together and the members of the House of Representatives working together, put a beautiful end to this thing we have started so that every Nigerian will be proud that we have the universities we can be proud of.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cWe also extend our appreciation to the President for intervening in the ASUU strike. And I want to appeal that in future we should not allow strike to linger. Strike should not go beyond two days; if the way the National Assembly has intervened, if we had done that long ago, or those in charge of Labour and Education had done exactly this, we would not have stayed more than two or weeks on the strike.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cStrike is all over the world, UK, U.S. all over, but they don\u2019t allow it to last. So, once again, thank you very much and we hope that working together, in the next few days, we can put an end to this particular imbroglio in the Nigerian educational system,\u201d Osodeke had said.<\/p>\n<p>Although ASUU is yet to make public its decision to call off the strike, a member of the union from UNILAG, confirmed it to Daily Trust early Friday.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) has finally suspended the strike it embarked upon February 14, 2022.
