The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has finally suspended the long lingering industrial action which commenced since November last year. The Union has directed lecturers to immediately resume duty on 12th February.

The leadership of Academic Staff Union of Universities, Prof Biodun Ogunyemi, says the leadership of the union is still consulting its members on the Federal Government’s offer. Ogunyemi in a message to Sunday Punch said the outcome of the consultations would determine what ASUU would be presenting to the government’s team during their next meeting within the week.

The Federal Government says it will meet with the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Thursday in continuation of efforts to resolve the ongoing strike by the lecturers. According to Dailytrust, Sen. Chris Ngige, Minister of Labour and Employment, disclosed this yesterday in Abuja, in a statement by Mrs Iliya Rhoda, Deputy Director, Press in the ministry.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has accused the Federal Government of failing to make fresh offer on funding, for the revitalisation of public universities in the country.
