The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has suspended its ongoing two-week warning strike, 10 days after it began.
ASUU President, Chris Piwuna, announced the decision on Wednesday at a press conference in Abuja, directing members to resume work starting Thursday.
According to Piwuna, the suspension followed “fruitful engagements” with government representatives during negotiations held last week. The decision was reached after an emergency National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the union held in Abuja between October 21 and 22.
However, he warned that the union would resume the strike if the government failed to meet its commitments within a month.
“NEC resolved to grant the government a one-month window to conclude the renegotiation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU agreement and address all other outstanding issues,” Piwuna said.
He added that ASUU expects the government to use the opportunity to ensure lasting industrial harmony and stability in the university system.
