It should be recalled that following meetings between representatives of the Federal Government and ASUU, there were reports that the Union would suspend the strike as the FG was ready to release the sum of 70 billion Naira.
But Ogunyemi revealed members of the union are still making consultations while waiting for the government to fulfill its promise of releasing the withheld allowance.
