The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Wednesday called off the age-long strike that has kept Nigerian students at home going to 10 months.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports the ASUU called off the strike after series of meetings with federal government negotiators that included Chris Ngige, the Minister of Labour and Employment.
ASUU agreed with the FG to call off the strike after reaching an agreement on major issues that will led to the strike at the first place.
The agreement was reached on the early hours of Wednesday morning after an eight hour long closed door meeting of negotiations between both parties.
ASUU expressed joy on how the FG handled the negotiation process, and following an ASUU NEC, the union concluded to call off the strike.
Meanwhile, the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) had given the FG a December ultimatum to implement the new minimum wage by releasing funds to clear the backlog of new minimum wage arrears due to her members or risk industrial unrest.
SSANU National President, Mohammed Ibrahim, who made the call in Yola, warned that another strike action by the union would be inevitable even if ASUU should suspend their strike.
