Here Is What ASUU President Said In His Recent Interview
In a recent interview, the President of the ASUU, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, stated that the lecturers had called off their strike and returned to work, but that they were having difficulty meeting their daily needs due to the nonpayment of their salaries for the previous eight months.
