According to a member of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ‘ASUU National Executive Committee, the union has conditionally halted its eight-month-old industrial action.
During a leadership meeting that started on Thursday night and went into the early hours of Friday, the union made the decision to call off the strike.
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.
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.
The meeting at the ‘ASUU National Secretariat in Abuja was attended by members of the union’s National Leadership Committee, which is made up of the leaders of the state chapters and the national executive.
Since this February 14, the ASUU has been on strike.
Due to several disagreements between the body and FG, many Federal universities have been shut for months.
Now that the strike has been called off, students will be ready to resume their academic activities, although the strike was called off, it was announced that it was conditional, which may imply the the issue of the strike has not been adequately resolved.
However, as academic processes continue, the FG has made plans to meet ASUU’s demands
