 made to ASUU. The union president further sent a message across to all campuses to be at ease an not engage in any form of protest. While on the other hand the union is planning to hold it National Executive Council meeting this week to review the memorandum off action it signed with the Federal Government before it calling off its strike some months ago. The memorandum agreed upon stated that the federal government and the union would have its agreement contents implemented by October 2017 An agreement with the federal government is yet to focus on especially the issuance of license for the registration of Nigerian University Pension Company (NUPEMCO). FG had promised to implement the issuance of license to the company within two weeks of ASUU suspending its strike.

Suggestions are being made that in any attempt that a strike commences there wont be a holding back until the Federal government does his part of the bargain. Also, in a swift reaction, ASUU's president, Biodum Ogunyemi, called on calm over the unpaid allowance. Ogunyemi's instruction is contained in a mail sent to all members of the union across the country. Ogunyemi's instruction is contained in a mail sent to all members of the union across the country.
