The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU) have suspended their four-month old strike for two weeks. The workers said the unanimous decision to suspend the strike was to open fresh negotiation with the Federal Government and failure to reach an agreement would lead to an indefinite action that would cripple the university system.
Speaking to Daily Sun, the SSANU Chairman, Unilag, Comrade Olusegun Odusanwo, explained that the decision of the workers to suspend the strike was reached at a congress meeting held at the university auditorium yesterday.
He said that the National Executive Council (NEC) had requested branches of the union nationwide to sample the opinion of their members on the lingering strike in order to allow the opinion of the majority to prevail.
Odusanwo affirmed that majority of the SSANU members in Unilag supported the suspension of the action for two weeks, to allow fresh re-negotiation.
