Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has suspended its industrial action that has disrupted academic activities for one month.

Addressing a press conference on Saturday evening at the University of Abuja, ASUU president said the decision to go back to the classroom was made based on agreement reached with the Federal Government at the meeting held last week.

“On the basis of the foregoing, the NEC resolved that the current strike by the union should be suspended conditionally with effect from 12.01 a.m Tuesday, March 15, 2022. However, should government fail to fullfil its own part of the agreement, ASUU will resume its suspended strike as deemed necessary,” he said.

The current ASUU strike began on February 14 after its 1 Month warning strike was declared by the union. ASUU president who read out some of the resolutions reached by ASUU NEC at its meeting to review reports of agreement with the federal government said that the union resolved to give another chance to federal government to prove that it can be trusted.

He said the NEC agreed to accept agreements reached between ASUU and the federal government on Saturday 13th, March, and “we are going back to rekindle the motivation and aspirations in our members to strive to encourage our students to excel, all in expectations that governments, both federal and state, will sincerely fullfil their own part of the bargain,” he said.
