More Nigerian universities have announced dates for the resumption of academic activities.
Newsonline reports that Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ile-Ife, the University of Lagos, UNILAG, along with some universities have announced the dates for the redemption of academic activities.
This online mdeia platform recalls that some had earlier in the week made their announcements following the suspension of strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, on Friday.

The union said it suspended the strike to obey the ruling of the industrial court. The court had granted an injunction by the government to compel ASUU to resume work pending the determination of the suit filed by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige.
The union, however, said its demands have not been completely met.
