Just In: ASUU Suspends 8-month-old Strike

Vanguard News

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has suspended its eight-month-old strike conditionally.

According to reports reaching Vanguard, the union ended the strike after a meeting by its leadership on Thursday night, which lasted into the early hours of Friday.

The meeting was called by the union to determine its next line of action after its state branches met over the Court of Appeal ruling last week.

The Court of Appeal had ordered ASUU to suspend the strike before its appeal of the ruling ordering lecturers to resume work can be heard.

Members of the union’s National Executive Committee, which comprises the chairmen of the state chapters and members of the national executive, attended the meeting at the ASUU National Secretariat in Abuja.

Recall that ASUU commenced the strike on February 14, 2022.
