– ASUU President to issue Official Statement this morning

By Adeola Abdullah

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

 

This was disclosed by a member of the unionā€™s National Executive Committee early Friday.

 

The union decided to suspend the strike during a meeting of its leadership that started on Thursday night and 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 unionā€™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.

Speaking with correspondents, a highly informed source within the NEC said, ā€œYes, it has been called offā€.

 

When asked for more details, the source said, ā€œthe president will release an official circular in the morningā€.

 

 

 

ASUU has been on strike since February 14 this year, today makes exactly eight months since the strike commenced.
