– 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 union’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 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.
Speaking with correspondents, a highly informed source within the NEC said, “Yes, it has been called off”.
When asked for more details, the source said, “the president will release an official circular in the morning”.
ASUU has been on strike since February 14 this year, today makes exactly eight months since the strike commenced.
