The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), which has been on strike for eight months as of February 14, has ended it.

The choice was made following a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting that took place on Thursday evening and into early Friday morning.

After several hours of talks between the ASUU leadership and the federal government, a highly placed source present at the NEC meeting told Peoples Gazette that the strike had been called off.

ASUU was compelled to end its strike after Chris Ngige, the minister of labor and employment, filed a petition against the union at the National Industrial Court.

ASUU appealed the case to the Court of Appeal after being dissatisfied with the result, but the appellate court confirmed the industrial court’s ruling, saying the lecturers had to start working again before launching an appeal.

The academic union’s strike began exactly eight months ago on Thursday.
