It could be recalled that consultation for reconciliation of UNILORIN Union warring factions and the National body of ASUU was initiated July this year. The feud which was almost two decades started as a result of the resolve of the then management of Unilorin to sack about 49 academic staffs of the institution on the ground that they joined the strike action organised by the national leaders of ASUU.

The case was taken to court and at the end it was ruled that the sacked staffs should be reabsorb and all their salaries and entitlements within the period of their sacked to be fully paid but since then until July this year when reconciliation was initiated there were no cordial relationship among the parties.
