According to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the ongoing industrial action has not been suspended as of 12:30 p.m.
Following a meeting with members of the House of Representatives leadership on Monday, reports and social media posts on Tuesday morning reported that the union had called off the strike.
ASUU announced on Monday that it finally saw "light at the end of the tunnel" since beginning its strike on February 14.
However, in a brief response to a question on the strike, ASUU President Emmanuel Osodeke stated that the union has not called off the walkout.
He described stories that his union had suspended the strike as “fake.”
Meanwhile, a source in the union confided in newsmen that there will be briefings at the various zones of the union and a subsequent meeting by the branches between today (Wednesday) and tomorrow (Thursday).
“They just left Abuja this morning, and some will be holding their Zonal meetings today and others will do it tomorrow,” the source said.
The source added that the National Executive Council of the union will then meet to decide on the suspension of the strike.
The Court of Appeal last Friday ordered ASUU to suspend the strike before continuing with its appeal against the judgement of the Industrial Court.
While ASUU has not immediately obeyed the court ruling, it has been in talks with the leadership of the House of Representatives, holding multiple meetings.
On Monday, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, disclosed that he has presented the agreements with ASUU to President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said Mr Buhari will disclose the contents of the new agreement to Nigerians.
