The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, will convene emergency National Executive Council, NEC, meeting on Thursday, to review recent developments, with a view to prolonging or ending the strike.
This is in view of the positive response from the federal government to its demands and the order by the Court of Appeal, Abuja.
Before the meeting expected to take place at its headquarters in Abuja, the union has directed its zonal branches to collate the views of members through vote during the meetings expected to hold tomorrow in its various zones across the country.

The outcome of the meeting would result in suspension of the strike on late Thursday or Friday morning.
This came as report had emerge in the social media space earlier on Tuesday, claiming that the union had called off the almost eight-month old strike and subsequently directed members to resume academic activities on October 17.
ASUU president, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, while responding to enquiry to that effect, dismissed the report, saying the strike was yet to be suspended.
He, however, said the union was working towards the suspension of the action, saying the action would be dependent on the views of members from the zonal meetings.
Earlier, human rights lawyer and counsel to ASUU, Femi Falana, SAN, had also said the union would soon call off its nearly eight-month old strike.
