<p><strong>The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has on Monday conditionally suspended its 9 months old strike.</strong></p>
<p>This is coming after varsity lecturers received their two month arrears.</p>
<p>This was made known to the public by ASUU National Chairman, Biodun Ogunyemi at a briefing of the union on Wednesday, December 23rd, 2020 in Abuja.</p>
<p>Speaking further, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi thanked Nigerian students and parents for their cooperation during the 9 months old strike that started since March, 2020.</p>
<p>He also assured Nigerians that they are returning to classes and therefore appeal to parents to work with them for the revitalisation of universities.</p>
<p>In a press statement by the union, the union insisted that they did not lock the universities, as far as they are concerned.</p>
<p>The union also noted that their members will resume classes from Thursday, December 24th, 2020.</p>
<p>Professor Biodun Ogunyemi added that the government will decide when universities are to resume in line with the COVID-19 complaiance guidelines.</p>
<p>Recall that Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19, PTF, directed school owners including <a href="https://thedailypage.ng/2020/12/22/fg-restricts-guests-at-conference-meetings-wedding-others-to-50/">universities not to reopen till January 18th, 2021</a> due to increase in coronavirus confirmed cases.</p>
