The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has suspended its eight-month-old strike.
A credible source disclosed that ASUU decided to suspend the strike during a meeting of its leadership that started on Thursday night and lasted into the early hours of Friday.
It was gathered that 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.
The union embarked on the industrial action on February 14, 2022, to press home an improved academic environment and welfare of members.

Some of the lecturers’ demands are the funding of the Revitalisation of Public Universities, Earned Academic Allowances, University Transparency Accountability Solution (UTAS), and promotion arrears.
Others are the renegotiation of the 2009 ASUU-FG Agreement and the inconsistency in the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System.
Several meetings between the union and the Federal Government have ended in deadlock due to non-agreement on the demands.
The Federal Government later went to court to challenge the strike but the union insisted it would not resume until its demands are met by the government.
