ASUU strike will be called off in days – Falana

Femi Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), on Monday, said the ongoing strike action embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) will be called off in a matter of days or even hours and not weeks.

Falana stated this at the book launch entitled Breaking Coconut With Your Head, by Lanre Arogundade on Monday in Lagos.

Falana, who is the counsel to the academic union, stated that it is likely that the strike will be concluded outside the courtroom.

He told the audience that he would not disclose the advice he would give to his clients but he assured Nigerians that the strike would soon be over.

He said, “I will not tell you the legal advice I am going to give ASUU, but the strike will soon come to an end in a matter of days or even hours. Nigerians can rest assured that the strike would end soon.”
