The almost three months strike embarked upon by
the ASUU chapter of the University of Jos may soon
be called off as the Minister of Youths and Sports
Development, Mr. Solomon Dalung, has intervened in the lingering strike.

Dalung who was a law lecturer in the University before his appointment as a minister decided to
intervene since the management of the institution
and lecturers were unable to resolve the issues.

According to the UNIJOS-ASUU Chairman, Dr. Chris
Piwuna, many of the issues the lecturers have with
the authorities of the institution have been pending since 2005.

He further stated that a congress of the union would
hold on Wednesday to decide whether or not to call
off the strike immediately.

There are high hopes that the intervention of the
minister will see an end to the lingering strike.
