The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has suspended its two-week warning strike declared across public universities last week.
ASUU President, Chris Piwuna, announced the suspension on Wednesday during a press conference at the union’s national headquarters in Abuja.
Piwuna said the decision followed the intervention of the Senate and other concerned Nigerians who appealed for dialogue between the union and the Federal Government.
He, however, noted that the National Executive Council (NEC) of ASUU resolved to grant the government a one-month window to address all unresolved issues that led to the industrial action.
Piwuna stressed that the union remains committed to defending the welfare of its members and the revitalisation of public universities, warning that failure by the government to act within the given period could trigger a resumption of the strike.
