BREAKING: ASUU finally agrees to call off strike, speaks on receiving N70bn

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has reportedly agreed to call of its no fewer than 8-months strike which has grounded academic activities in the public universities.

The leadership of ASUU reached the consensus during a meeting with the government team led by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, in Abuja, on Friday November 27th, 2020.

The government also pledged to increase the total payment to the union to N70 billion.

This is happening one week after the Federal Government accepted the demand by the ASUU that they be exempted from the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System.
