Newsonline reports that after eight months of embarking on the ASUU strike to press home their demands from the Federal Government of Nigeria, lecturers of public universities in the country have suspended the action and Monday, October 17th was announced as the school resumption date in Nigeria for public universities.
This online news platform understands that the decision to suspend the ASUU strike was disclosed in a tweet on the micro-blogging site, by the official Twitter handle of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Friday morning, October 14, 2022, after a marathon meeting.
ASUU tweeted: “The Academic Staff Union of Universities (@ASUUNGR) has suspended the strike.”
The union made the decision to call off the strike during a leadership meeting that started on Thursday night and went into the early hours of Friday.
The union scheduled the conference after its state chapters last week discussed the Court of Appeal verdict in order to decide its course of action.
Newsonline reports that before hearing ASUU’s appeal of the decision directing lecturers to resume work, the Court of Appeal had ordered them to call off their strike.
Members of the union’s National Executive Committee, which comprises the chairmen of the state chapters and members of the national executive, attended the meeting at the ASUU National Secretariat in Abuja.
ASUU has been on strike since February 14 this year.
A member of the union’s National Executive Committee told Channels TV early Friday that the strike has been called off conditionally.
