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.
