The Academic Staff Union of Research Institutions has suspended its strike, which it embarked on in October, last year, over unresolved issues with the Federal Government.
The union made this known in a Letter signed by its Secretary-General, Theophilus Ndubuaku, and sent to the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige.
The letter said that the suspension of the strike is with immediate effect.
According to the letter, the union reviewed the efforts of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment and other Federal Government agencies to resolve the issues in dispute and noted the progress made so far.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government has resumed talks with the Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Associations of Nigerian Universities and Non-Academic Staff Union, in a bid to reopen the public universities shut due to strikes by various industrial unions,
