ASUU finally suspends 10 months strike

The Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) has called off its 10-months old strike on Wednesday, December 23, following demands almost fully met by the Federal Government.

Some days ago, ASUU had hinted that it would be calling off it’s strike after 98% of their demands have been met by the Federal government.

However, the union finally agrees to call off its strike in the early hours on Wednesday morning, after an eight-hour close door meeting of negotiations between both parties.

The national president of ASUU, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, made the announcement during a briefing of the union in Abuja, explaining that the development followed consultations with its National Executive Council (NEC).

The union confirmed that the strike is suspended on their Twitter page.

“#BREAKING: ASUU suspends 10months strike conditionally. Congratulations to all undergraduates. #ASUU,” it wrote.
