The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) said its members were ready to resume as soon as the federal government responds to their demands.
Speaking on Monday night, ASUU President, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, made it known during an interview on Channels Television, saying the government was responsible for the prolonged strike action.
He said the striking lecturers were ready to resume immediately as soon as the government meets their demands.
In his words, “As far as ASUU is concerned, the strike can end tomorrow. Like I said, we have finished re-negotiation. Let the government call us this night that we should come tomorrow to sign that agreement, we’ll be there.
“Let the government tell us we have finished testing the UTAS, we have accepted it; by tomorrow we will call off the strike. So it’s not in our hands. We have finished, we are just waiting.
“So we challenge the government; when will they sign the agreement, number two when will they accept UTAS? Those are the two questions we should ask the Nigerian government.”
