The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) says it has agreed to

This great news comes after 12 hours, 30 minutes of a closed door
meeting between ASUU and a government delegation in Abuja which started 1:38pm
on Thursday, September 7 and ended 2:15 a.m. on Friday, September 8.
According to Premium Times, the leadership of ASUU, however, said though
it accepted the proposal presented by the government, it will take the proposal
to its members and get back to the government in a week.
The national president of ASUU, Biodun Ogunyemi, told journalists after
the meeting that the union will come back after one week to take its final
decisions.
He said: “Now we have some concrete proposal that we will take back to
our members for consideration."
Adamu Adamu, the minister of education, said ASUU’s demands have been
addressed and the union will get back to the government in a week after
consulting with its principals.
