BREAKING: ASUU calls off strike but cautions govt it’s not over yet


The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has called off its nationwide strike, and asked lecturers to resume academic activities from Friday, February 8, 2019.

The strike began in November 2018, and was aimed at ensuring better funding for universities.

The decision to suspend the strike was reached after a meeting with the Nigerian government on Thursday.






At the end of the meeting, an agreement was reached and a deal was signed.

ASUU, however, resolved to resume the strike if government backs out of the newly signed Memorandum of Action.
