One of the major demands of ASUU has been the adoption of University Transparency and Accountability Solutions (UTAS) as the payment platform for varsity lecturers. Now that the UTAS issue has been resolved, does this mean the strike will be called off soon?
The union president who also disclosed that they will be meeting with FG tomorrow assured Nigerians that if FG accepts the agreement they had with Prof Brigg Committee, the strike will be resolved.
In his words: “If we go to the meeting and FG said ‘what you bargained (with Prof Brig’s Committee), we’re willing to sign’ then sure we will resolve the strike“
