Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Calabar branch John Edor has debunked rumour that the union has called off its eight-month old strike.
Edor debunked the rumour in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday.
He was reacting to a statement on Twitter purportedly credited to the union, calling off the strike.
“As I talk to you now, ASUU does not have a Twitter account, so I wonder where that statement came from. As far as I am concerned, it is fake news,” he said.
The chairman, however, said a meeting between ASUU and the Federal Government on the lingering strike may hold on Friday.
The union has been on an indefinite strike since April 4 and has held meetings severally with the Federal Government to resolve the impasse.
