Th ASUU president had given indications of a possible end to the industrial action.
At the last meeting with members of the House of Representatives led by its Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, Osodeke had said the ministers of Education, and that of the Labour and Productivity mishandled the affairs of the strike.
