The Academic Staff Union of Universities has suspended its three-month old strike. The leadership of the academic union have also been asked to resume on Friday February 8th.
National President of the union, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi, announced this on Thursday February 7th during a press briefing at the Nigeria Labour Congress complex in Abuja.
The striking lecturers took the decision after a meeting with representatives of the Federal Government led by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige.
The meeting came hours before Professor Ogunyemi announced the decision of ASUU to suspend the strike.
It had in attendance leaders of the union and government representatives such as the permanent secretaries at the ministries of Education, as well as Labour and Employment, and some directors from the ministries.
The University lecturers commenced a nationwide strike late last year to demand for the full implementation of the agreement it reached with the government in 2009.
Until now, government and the leadership of the union have met nine different times, with non-yielding any meaningful result.
