Information reaching us has it that,
the Academic Staff Union of Universities will call off its protracted strike on Monday, following the passage of the bill on the retirement age of professors of Universities at 70 years.

This was disclosed by Prof Rufa'I who stated this yesterday in Abuja at a crucial meeting with Vice Chancellors of Federal universities. She assured that the bill which was passed last Wednesday will soon be signed into law by President Goodluck Jonathan.
