ASUU strike conditionally suspended
According to reports, ASUU has “conditionally” suspended its five-week old strike following series of meetings with the Federal Government’s delegation.
ASUU decided to conditionally suspend the strike in view of the timeline of October 2017 for the implementation of the signed agreement and also to contend with issues in the strike action which has a deadline of the end of October, 2017.
All members of ASUU are to resume work after their branch congresses on Tuesday, September 19, 2017.
However, ASUU has promised not to hesitate to review its position should government renege on the signed Memorandum of Action.
Dr. Chris Ngige, Minister of Labour and Employment, who led the government delegation, for the reconciliatory talks directed all members of the union to return to work after their branch congresses on Tuesday.
Ngige said that members of the union had insisted that they were tired of having agreements that are not implemented.
