The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), through its national president, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, says it is shameful that there is no information and nothing new from Nigerian Government even as the current warning strike will be ending in two weeks.
Professor Osodeke was reported by the PUNCH Newspaper to have said that the government has not made any effort to get in touch with the Union or seek ways of ending the strike.
He added that the Union might have no choice but to roll over the strike after it expiration on May 14.
