Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU)
yesterday called off its six-week-old strike. In a
memo to Pro-Chancellor and Chairman, Governing
Council of LASU, the striking lecturers noted that the
congress met on Monday and reviewed the strike it
embarked upon since May 20 and decided to suspend
it.
In the memo signed by Chairman, LASU chapter of
ASUU, Dr. Kunle Idris, the lecturers noted that after
serious deliberation on the Governing Council’s letter,
the congress agreed to suspend the strike in the
interest of all.
“The congress of ASUU LASU met today Monday, July
14, 2014 and reviewed the strike it embarked upon on
May 20, 2014. After exhaustive deliberation on the
Governing Council’s letter ref: LASU/PRO-CHAN/
ASUU/31 of July 11, 2014, the congress took some
decisions.
“The congress suspended the strike but resolved that
discussions on the outstanding issues identified by
members should be continued by the executive
members. Congress believes that the letters and spirit
of the resolutions reached with the university
administration and the University Appointments and
Promotions Committee; and of the Governing Council
shall hold.”
“This letter, therefore, serves to notify the Governing
Council and the University Administration that the
Academic Staff of LASU has effective from 1500 hours,
Monday, July 14, 2014 resumed the teaching aspect
of their duties.”
