The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in the early hours of Friday suspended its eight-month old strike.
The union took the decision at an emergency National Executive Council (NEC) at its National Secretariat, University of Abuja, Abuja.
The meeting, which lasted for more than six hours, deliberated on the ruling of the Appeal Court, offers made by the Federal Government and the intervention of the Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila.
The union explained that it suspended the strike in line with the order of the courts and in deference to appeals by President Muhammadu Buhari and in recognition of the efforts of Gbajabiamila, and other well meaning Nigerians.
The union directed its members to resume all services hitherto withdrawn with effect from Friday, 14th October, 2022.
In a statement at the end of the meeting and signed by ASUU President, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, the union however regretted the failure of the government to satisfactorily address all issues in dispute.
