“We made the appeal, and President Bola Tinubu listened to us and removed universities and other tertiary institutions from IPPIS,” he said. Fulata appealed to ASUU to suspend the indefinite strike that began on May 2 ” NAN quoted him as saying. He promised that the National Assembly would soon come up with a bill that would address the problem regarding the appointment of a VC and the running of universities in the absence of a council.
