Nigeria University students would finally return to the classroom following the suspension of nationwide industrial strike embarked upon by ASUU.

The announcement of the suspension was made by the National President of the union, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi, at a press conference held Thursday at the National Labour Congress complex in Abuja.

The striking lecturers took the decision after a meeting with representatives of the Federal Government led by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige.

The meeting came hours before Professor Ogunyemi announced the decision of ASUU to suspend the strike.

It had in attendance leaders of the union and government representatives such as the permanent secretaries at the ministries of Education, as well as Labour and Employment, and some directors from the ministries.
