NEWS: ASUU SUSPENDS STRIKE AFTER NINE MONTHS
The Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) on Wednesday “conditionally” suspended its strike, ending a protracted industrial action that started since March 2020.
The union said it has suspended the nine-month-old strike while it monitors the compliance level of the federal government on the concessions the latter has made.
Speaking at a briefing at the union’s secretariat in Abuja on Wednesday, the ASUU National President, Biodun Ogunyemi, said this decision was reached after its national executive council met on Tuesday.
Mr Ogunyemi also added that the issue of IPPIS has also been resolved.
On when studies would resume fully in the nation’s public universities in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping across the country, Mr Ogunyemi said the teachers were ready to resume as long full health measures are put in place.
“As far as we are concerned, we are ready to resume work. Let the government do what is needed to ensure safety. We insist that the COVID-19 protocol should be observed.”
The briefing is still on. We will provide more details in our subsequent reporting
