ASUU Strike Updates: UNILAG, UI, Others Voted In Congresses To Call Off Strike

Barring a last-minute change,
the National Executive
Committee of ASUU will at its
meeting on Wednesday night
suspend the lingering ASUU
strike to allow public university
students to return to their classes
as reports from the various local
congresses of the union today has
shown.
Campus Times gathered that at
the University, members of ASUU in the University who have been front-liners
in the industrial action today accepted the new offer from the FG and voted that
the strike be suspended. Other Universities that have so far voted for the
suspension of the industrial action are Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Uthman
Dan Fodio University Sokoto, Federal University of Technology MINNA, and the
University of Lagos. Others are, the University of Calabar, Federal University of
Technology Akure, and Ekiti State University. As of Press time, only the
University of Benin has refused to yield to the call that the 4-month old ASUU
strike be suspended.
It will be recall the the Academic Staff Union of Nigeria Universities (ASUU) has
on 1 July, 2013 embarked on an indefinite strike to put pressure on the FG to
implement the 2009 agreement it entered into with the Union.
