“I am reasonably confident that the consultations between the House and the Presidency will yield positive results in the interest of the striking lecturers and the students.”

Following a meeting with the presidency, Gbajabiamila on Friday said the house has done its part to end the months-long ASUU strike and Nigerians will hear the outcome of the deliberations from the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

The Court of Appeal in Abuja, on Friday, ordered the Academic Staff Union of Universities to call off its seven-month strike.

The court gave the order after dismissing the union’s application for a stay of execution of an earlier ruling of the National Industrial Court directing the university lecturers to resume work.

The ASUU National President, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke had said that the union will study the ruling of the appeal court which ordered its members to return back to work.
