The meeting was called in keeping with the promise of ASUU president Dr. Nasir Isa Fagge, who said shortly after signing MoU in Abuja that the union will meet within a week to decide on weather to call off the strike which has crippled the country's public Universities since July 1.

The MoU was signed 24 hours after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) confirmed that a sum of 200 billion agreed with the academic staff union of Universities (ASUU) at a meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan on november 5 had fully been paid into a revitalization of Universities infracstucture account.
