Votes from the remaining branches are expected to come off after the 5 days ultimatum given by NEC as stipulated in the constitution of UTAG.
The referendum as scheduled by the Association is expected to end by Monday, 28th February, 2022 to make final decision as to whether to call off the strike or not.
This means that, a total of eight (8) member universities out of the fifteen (15) voting against the suspension (against NEC decision to call the strike) will cause the strike to remain indefinitely.
But, if eight (8) campuses/members Universities voted for the suspension of the strike, will mean that, the decision by NEC to call off the strike has been approved.
