JUST IN: ASUU calls off two-week warning strike after senate intervention

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has called off its two-week warning strike declared last week across public universities nationwide.

ASUU President, Chris Piwuna, announced the suspension on Wednesday during a press conference at the union’s headquarters in Abuja.

According to Piwuna, the decision followed the intervention of the Senate and other well-meaning Nigerians who waded into the dispute between the union and the Federal Government.

He added that the National Executive Council (NEC) of the union resolved to give the government a one-month window to address all outstanding issues.
