“Yes, we have suspended the strike. That was the NEC decision. The President will release an official circular in the morning,” a top source said. A top source had said, “We got the directive after the meeting with the speaker yesterday . The intervention was timely. Branches will vote between today and tomorrow after which the decisions will be convened to the NEC.”
There had been several meetings between the ASUU leadership and the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige who represents the Nigerian Government but after what he described as “failed negotiations,” the government sued ASUU at the National Industrial Court. But ASUU, not satisfied with the ruling of the National Industrial Court, appealed the judgment at the Court of Appeal, where it also filed a stay of execution of the ruling of the NIC.
