BREAKING: ASUU Finally Suspends Strike After Eight Months

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has suspended its eight month old strike.

TRIXX NG recalls that the academic union embarked on a strike on Monday, February 14, 2022.

According to reports the decision was taken at the end of the National Executive Council meeting which was held at the ASUU secretariat in Abuja.

Speaking with the PUNCH, a highly informed source within the NEC said, “Yes, it has been called off”.

When asked for more details, the source said, “the president will release an official circular in the morning”.

The union scheduled the conference after its state chapters last week discussed the Court of Appeal verdict in order to decide its course of action.

Before hearing ASUU’s appeal of the decision directing lecturers to resume work, the Court of Appeal had ordered them to call off their strike.

Members of the union’s National Executive Committee, which comprises the chairmen of the state chapters and members of the national executive, attended the meeting at the ASUU National Secretariat in Abuja.
