Lecturers Resumes Today As ASUU Call-Off Nationwide Strike

The Academic Staff Union of Nigerian
Universities, ASUU, has officially
suspended its one month, six days strike.




ASUU said it was suspending the strike
till end of October for government to
fulfill its pledges.




The union directed university lecturers to
resume duty from tomorrow, Tuesday.




The suspension of the strike was
announced on Monday evening after a
meeting with the government
delegation.




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.





ASUU embarked on an indefinite strike
on August 13, following government’s
failure to implement the agreement
reached with the union in November
2016.
