The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU) has suspended its nationwide industrial action.
National President of the union, Professor Biodun
Ogunyemi, announced the suspension on Thursday at a press briefing at the
Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) complex in Abuja.
The striking lecturers took the decision after a
meeting with representatives of the Federal Government led by the Minister of
Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige.
The meeting came hours before Professor Ogunyemi
announced the decision of ASUU to suspend the strike.
It had in attendance leaders of the union and
government representatives such as the permanent secretaries at the ministries
of Education, as well as Labour and Employment, and some directors from the
ministries.
