ASUU calls off nine-month-old strike


The Academic Staff Union of University, ASUU has suspended its industrial action that started since March 2020.

The National President of ASUU, Biodun Ogunyemi, made the announcement in Abuja.

Ogunyemi said the lecturers sympathised with students who were also their children, adding that “no amount of sacrifice would be too much to get the matter resolved as long as the government is consistent with its commitments.”

While warning that the union would return to strike without notice if the government fails to fulfill its part of the agreement reached with the university lecturers, Ogunyemi noted that the reopening of the schools, considering the COVID-19 pandemic, lies with the Federal Government and the National Assembly.
