The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has suspended its eight-month-old strike conditionally.
A former President of the union, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Friday.
”The union will issue a statement to that effect as soon as possible,” he said
He said 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 on Oct. 7.
