Speaking during a press briefing in Abuja, the President of the union, Prof. Chris Piwuna, revealed that the suspension happened after positive engagements with the Federal Government and key interventions from the National Assembly.
According to him, following the commencement of the strike, FG re-engaged the union through a team led by Alhaji Yayale Ahmed, which met with ASUU representatives on October 16 and 18, to discuss the government’s response to the draft renegotiated agreement.
He stated that even though the meetings did not fully resolve all issues, the union recognised that significant progress had been made compared to the pre-strike period.
