Experts observed that in the event the non-academic members of the university community decide to go on strike, they would make the agreement between ASUU and the government a wasted effort.

Under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, the union had ‘wasted’ 58 weeks on strike, meaning they had been at home for about 15 months.
The union had spent four weeks in 2017 and 13 weeks in 2018; while 2020 witnessed the longest- 41 weeks and 3 days.
Parents and students who expressed joy over yesterday’s development called on ASUU and the federal government to respect the terms of the agreement that led to the suspension of the strike to avert another round of strike.
