Some parents and students in the FCT, have commended the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the Federal Government (FG) for the suspension of the eight-month strike.
The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that the union, through its President, Emmanuel Osodeke, had embarked on a nationwide strike from Feb. 14 to press home its demands.
Mr Nicholas Emmanuel, a parent whose child is in the University of Abuja, said he was happy the strike had been suspended. “Before the strike, I had settled them, including providing for their upkeep, I will have to spend extra money on them again. “After each episode of the strike, the children are no more focused and they end up not graduating within the stipulated years,” he said.
