[News] ASUU suspends strike, directs lecturers to resume tomorrow

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

ASUU said it was suspending the strike until end of October for government to satisfy its vows.

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.
