Members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at the Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) have suspended their two-week warning strike after reaching an agreement with the Enugu State Government to increase the university’s monthly subvention to ₦276 million.
The ASUU-ESUT announced the suspension of the strike in a communiqué issued after an emergency congress of the union on Monday.
The communique was signed by the Acting Chairman of ASUU-ESUT, Andrew Apeh.
The lecturers explained that the decision to suspend the industrial action was taken in line with the union’s principles of negotiation, collective bargaining, and due process.
The ASUU-ESUT had begun a two-week industrial action at the university on 14 August over alleged unpaid allowances, salary arrears, and poor welfare for its members.
