The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has announced the suspension of its ongoing two-week warning strike.
Prof. Chris Piwuna, the National President of ASUU, announced this during an ongoing press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday.
According to Piwuna, the decision arose from the National Executive Council meeting, which was held overnight and concluded at 4:00 a.m. on Wednesday.
Piwuna stated that the union chose to go on strike owing to the government’s refusal to meet its demands on time.
“We’ve had useful engagements with representatives of the government to consider the response to the draft renegotiation of the 2009 agreements. However, we are definitely not where we were prior to the commencement of the strike.
“The union acknowledged that the government returned to the negotiation table. While noting that a lot more work is still required, NEC came to the conclusion that the ongoing strike should be reviewed.
“The decision to review the strike action was a result of efforts by our students, parents, and the Nigeria Labour Congress.
“Consequently, NEC resolved to suspend the warning strike to reciprocate the efforts of well-meaning Nigerians.”
