ASUU Suspends Two-Week Warning Strike, Gives Government One-Month Window
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has announced the suspension of its planned two-week warning strike following engagements with the Federal Government and interventions from the National Assembly. The union’s National Executive Council (NEC) said the pause is to allow the government one month to conclude negotiations and provide signed, time-bound commitments. If the government fails to meet the conditions within that window, ASUU warned it may resume industrial action without further notice.
