ASUU’s Eight-Month-Old Strike Suspended.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has suspended its eight-month-old industrial action.
ASUU embarked on strike on February 14 this year over the Federal Government’s failure to honor agreements reached with the union.
A member of the union’s National Executive Committee, NEC, confirmed this to DAILY POST early Friday.
ASUU decided to suspend the strike during a meeting of its leadership that started on Thursday night and lasted into the early hours of Friday.
The state branches of the union met over the Court of Appeal ruling last week, following which members voted to conditionally suspend the strike.
The Court of Appeal had issued an order to ASUU to suspend the strike before its appeal of the ruling ordering lecturers to resume work could be heard.
