The Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) has decided to suspend its eight-month-old industrial action conditionally.
This was disclosed by a member of the union’s National Executive Committee who spoke to Channels TV early Friday.
According to him, the union decided to suspend the strike following series of meetings among the leadership of the Union started on Thursday night and lasted into the wee hours of Friday.
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.
Meanwhile, students, parents and the University workers have expressed joy at the decision of the lecturers to go back to classes, after a protracted strike action that kept the students away from school fpr months.
ASUU has been on strike since February 14 this year sparking outrage among students and their parents in the country.
