The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has suspended its nine-month-old strike which has crippled activities in federal varsities since March.
ASUU National President Prof Biodun Ogunyemi made the announcement on Wednesday during a briefing of the union in Abuja.
Ogunyemi also said the lecturers sympathised with students who were also their children, adding that “no amount of sacrifice would be too much to get the matter resolved as long as the government is consistent with its commitments.”
The union warned it would return to strike without notice if the government fails in meeting its part of the agreement.
Ogunyemi noted that the reopening of the schools, considering the COVID-19 pandemic, lies with the Federal Government and Senate.
