The Academic Staff Union of Universities says it called off its eight-month strike due to a court order and appeals from Nigerians.
A court of appeal had ordered the striking lecturers to return to class after the National Industrial Court ruled against the union in a case brought to it by the Federal government. Days after the appeal court judgment, ASUU called off the strike and ordered members to resume lectures.
The union’s National President, Emmanuel Osodeke, however, says the decision was not because issues brought by the lecturers were fully addressed.
