ASUU Suspends Two-Week Warning Strike, Gives FG One-Month Ultimatum

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has suspended its two-week warning strike, granting the Federal Government a one-month window to conclude the renegotiation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement and address other unresolved issues affecting public universities. ASUU President, Prof. Chris Piwuna, announced the suspension on Wednesday in Abuja, citing fruitful engagements with the government and interventions by the National Assembly.

Piwuna said the union’s decision followed significant progress in discussions led by a government team headed by Alhaji Yayale Ahmed, though not all concerns had been resolved. He added that the suspension was made in consideration of students and other stakeholders, warning that ASUU would resume strike action without notice if the government fails to meet its commitments within the next month.
