As the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) holds its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting this week, LFBONLINE has learnt that the union may embark on fresh strike.
The NEC, which is the highest decision making body of the union, is to review Federal government's implementation of the Memorandum of Action (MoA) it signed with the union before it suspended its strike a few months ago.
Both government and ASUU had agreed to an MoA which stipulated that the federal government would have implemented its agreed contents latest by October, 2017.
The federal government according to investigation, however, was yet to implement issuance of license for the registration of Nigerian University Pension Company (NUPEMCO) which it promised to do within two weeks of strike suspension.
The FG is also defaulting in payment of 'Earned Academic Allowances and revatilisation funds' for public universities.
Some lecturers at the University of Ibadan, who spoke with journalists on the condition of anormnity at the weekend noted that it was unfortunate that the government had not paid as promised by end of October.
