ASUU decided to suspend the strike during a meeting of its leadership, which started on the night of Thursday and lasted till the early hours of Friday.

The union called the meeting to determine its next line of action after its state branches had met over the Court of Appeal ruling last week.

The union was ordered by the Court of Appeal to suspend the lingering strike, ordering that lecturers resume work.

It should be noted that ASUU has been on strike since February 14 this year, which means the strike lasted for 8 months.
