The Academic Staff Union of universities, ASUU has suspended its 8-month old strike, with effect from 12.01 on Friday, October 14, directing all members to resume work from where they stopped in February 14, 2022.
In a release signed by the president of ASUU, Emmanuel Osodeke, the union regrets that the issues which led to the strike are yet to be satisfactory addressed.
Some demands of ASUU include: funding of public universities, earned academic allowance, proliferation of public universities, visitation panels/release of white papers, University transperancy and Accountability Solution, UTAS as broad-spectrum software to stop illegality and provide for an alternative payment platform in the university system and the renegotiation of 2009 agreement.
ASUU notes that it reached a resolution to suspend the actions, as a law abiding union and in deference to appeals by President Muhammadu Buhari as well as efforts by the Speaker House of representstives, Femi Gbajiabiamila and other well-meaning Nigerians.
