After a meeting with a Federal Government delegation, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) have officially decided to suspended their strike.
After one month and six days, ASUU has dircted all university lecturers to resume duty from Tuesday, 19th September. This is however not a total end to the strike, as ASUU will be keenly waiting for the government to fulfill it's pledges before the end of October. Failure to do so might trigger the continuation of the strike, one which might hit students harder than when it commenced in August.
At the meeting, a memorandum of understanding was signed with the federal government delegation led by the Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige.
Mr. Ngige had earlier said both parties produced “collective agreement of action” after the meeting.
