ASUU suspends strike after negotiations with FG

After Nine months of unending strike action, the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, on Wednesday called off its industrial action.

This is coming on the heels after the union’s ongoing negotiation with the Federal Government.

ASUU Chairman, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi disclosed this during a press briefing on Wednesday.

Recall that ASUU had been on strike for about nine months.

The prolonged strike was however due to government’s alleged delay in meeting the agreements reached with the union.

ASUU had commenced the current strike in March, 2019.

“We are going back to strive for our students to excel. We are returning to classes and appeal to parents to work with us for the revitalization of universities,” the ASUU Chairman said.
