Majority of university teachers yesterday voted to end the four-month-old strike that has grounded the public university system in the country.About 120 chapters of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) held congresses at the various institutions and voted to suspend the strike, but insisted that the federal government begins to fulfil its promises immediately.The vote is expected to be ratified by the national executive council of ASUU at a meeting scheduled for tomorrow.ASUU executives will then meet with
President Goodluck Jonathan the next day where the deal will be affirmed and the strike called off thereafter. The national body of the union is billed to sit at a National Executive Council meeting tomorrow to consider the positions of the various chapters and take a decision.Sources within hierarchy of ASUU says classes will resume on Monday 18th November.
