VOICE AIR MEDIA

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

Though the union is yet to make an official pronouncement, our correspondent gathered that the decision was taken at the end of the National Executive Council meeting which was held at the ASUU secretariat in Abuja.

“the president will release an official circular in the morning”, a source said.

The meeting was called by the union to determine its next line of action after its state branches met over the Court of Appeal ruling last week.

The Court of Appeal had ordered ASUU to suspend the strike before its appeal of the ruling ordering lecturers to resume work can be heard.

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.

VOICE AIR MEDIA reports that the academic union embarked on a strike on Monday, February 14, 2022.
