The Academic Staff Union of Universities,
(ASUU), on Tuesday, November 22, ended its one week nationwide warning strike
over the non-implementation of a 2009 agreement with the Federal
Government.
Briefing newsmen in Abuja today, the President of ASUU, Professor
Biodun Ogunyemi urged lectures to return to work immediately.
According to him, “We are making progress, especially with the
intervention of the Senate. In the next one or two meetings, if we are able to
get a clear path to the matter, we will avoid elongation of the strike action,”
Punch quoted him as saying.
“I have been receiving these
reports that ASUU says strike continues. No. The strike ends today (Tuesday).
All lecturers are to go back to work Wednesday morning.”
Speaking further, Prof. Ogunyemi said that the Union was hopeful
of a positive outcome, going by the response coming from the Federal
Government.
