Admist the industrial action embarked upon by ASUU since July 1st, 2013, many university calendars have been ruthlessly distorted. Talks have been going on underground in various federal universities to pull out of the ongoing strike that has shown no sign of ending in its fourth month.
Though the state universities have remained determined than ever in their quest, their federal counterparts have started to fear for the imminent consequences of loosing an academic calendar, dropping in the university rankings and being banned by jamb to admit any students whatsoever next year! Of these universities that might betray asuu soonest, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife leads the park as underground meetings and exclusive sources have suggested they might pull out of the strike by November 1!
Unilag, Uniben and University of Ibadan also have hopes of pulling out soon. They seem to now realise that the federal government is adamant more than ever not to fulfill their demands and that other means including dialogue might serve as an alternative to the decay that currently rocks tetiary institutions in the country!
