The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has suspended its over 5months strike.

ASUU President, Dr. Nasir Fagge disclosed this in Minna while briefing newsmen.

The Union suspended the strike after a marathon National Executive Committee meeting held in the Niger State capital, yesterday.

The different chapters of ASUU are expected to hold congress meetings on Wednesday, following which academic activities  will resume in the universities.
