ASUU Suspends Two-Week Warning Strike
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has suspended its ongoing two-week warning strike.
The National President of ASUU, Prof. Chris Piwuna, announced the suspension during a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday.
According to Piwuna, the decision followed a marathon meeting of the union’s National Executive Council (NEC), which lasted overnight and ended around 4:00 a.m.
He explained that the union initially embarked on the warning strike due to the Federal Government’s failure to meet its long-standing demands, including improved welfare for lecturers and better funding for public universities.
Piwuna added that while the strike has been suspended, the union will continue to engage the government on the pending issues, warning that further industrial action could follow if concrete steps are not taken.
