The Academic Staff Union of University, ASUU, on Wednesday suspended its 10- month old strike, "conditionally" ending a protracted industrial action that started since March 2020.

ASUU National President, Biodun Ogunyemi spoke during a press briefing by the union in Abuja, explaining that the development followed a meeting with its National Executive Council, NEC.

He, however, said that the union would return to strike without notice if the government failed to meet its part of the agreement reached with ASUU.

 Ogunyemi further noted that the reopening of the schools, considering the COVID-19 pandemic, lies with the Federal Government and the various Senates of the universities.
