He stated that the congress is hoping to bring both parties together saying that “very soon ASUU strike will be history.” The NLC boss stated that the strike has reached the level it was because government does things with impunity “government signed an agreement and they said it was previous administration, if government can inherit foreign reserves from the previous administration while dodging the agreement reached by the previous administration, government should fulfil its sides of the bargain.”
