[JUST IN] ASUU Suspends 9-Month-Old Strike

*Schools to resume 19th Jan 2021

Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has suspended its
industrial action that has disrupted academic activities for nearly
nine months.

Addressing a press conference Wednesday morning, ASUU president,
Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, said the decision to go back to the
classroom was made based on agreement reached with the Federal
Government at a meeting held on

Tuesday which addressed most of the demands of the union.

He said that an implementation committee had been set up to
monitor the implementation of the agreements.

“On the basis of this, the National Executive Council meeting
has decided to suspend its strike today. But we will not hesitate
to resume the strike if government fails to keep to the agreement,”
he said.
