THE Academic Staff Union of Universities, Akwa Ibom State University branch, has called off its planned strike after the governor agreed to address some contentious issues.
Chief Press Secretary to the state governor, Mr Ekerete Udoh disclosed this in a statement made available to newsmen today in Uyo.
The Governor charged the Labour leaders to work closely with the government in delivering democratic dividends to the people of Akwa Ibom State.
He described the University as the pride of the State and tasked the University’s management to utilize the internally generated revenue to execute some tasks, maintaining that, the government will always pay the monthly subvention as and when due.
The visibly elated ASUU leaders praised the Governor for his Labour-friendly tendencies and assured that the planned strike would be called off
