ASUU ‘Conditionally’ Suspends Strike

The Academy staff union of Universities (ASUU) has announced a conditional suspension of it’s ongoing Nationwide strike.

The ASUU national chairman, Professor Abiodun Ogunyemi in a press conference on Wednesday said the union decided to suspend the strike on a condition that the federal government will fulfill it’s part of their written agreement, adding that the union will resume strike without notice if government goes back on it’s words.

He also disclosed that the decision was reached after consultations with its national executive council (NEC).

The union had embarked on an indefinite strike in March over non-implementation of agreements and resolutions the federal government reached with it in 2009.

ASUU had also opposed the adoption of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) while presenting its University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) as alternative payroll software.
