President Muhammadu Buhari will soon take a decision on the controversial University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) and the condition of service for varsity teachers.

To guide the President in taking a decision, the inter-ministerial departments and agencies committees of the Federal Government will turn in their reports on Wednesday.

The reports of the committees could bring an end to the four-month old strike embarked on by ASUU.

Dr. Chris Ngige dropped the hint in a statement yesterday by his ministry’s spokesman Olajide Oshundun.

The striking lectures are at war over which payment platform to be adopted in public varsities between the government-approved Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) and ASUU-preferred UTAS.
