 The Speaker of the House of Representatives Femi Bajabia Mila says the academic staff Union of Universities ASU will suspend its eight-month-old strike in a few days. The speaker announced this to journalists at the end of a meeting with ASU leadership led by the President, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke in Abuja. On his part, Osodeke said if the House had intervened in the matter earlier, the strike would have been over in a matter of days. The meeting with ASU now is basically to put everything on paper, sign off, and I believe if we had met yesterday ASU and the papers have been drawn up, ASU I'm sure would have called off the strike today, but we've only just met behind closed doors now. So we have to draw up the agreement as I have stated to you and hopefully next couple of days, months, of course, ASU has to get back to its base as well. From what we have seen today, I think for the first time since these are actions that we are seeing light at the end of the tunnel. But it is the first time we are having such a thing that I hope this one this time around there will not be any attempt by any possible group to create something that will also run into anything again. We hope that this will be the final in the interest of our children. Our struggle and I thank God the nation has been actually in us is for the educational system in Nigeria.
