The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has suspended its eight-month-old industrial action conditionally, the union posted on its Twitter handle, @ASUU_NGN early Friday.
The union decided to suspend the strike during a meeting of its leadership that started on Thursday night and lasted into the early hours of Friday.
The union called the meeting to determine its next course of action after its state branches met last week to discuss the Court of Appeal ruling.
The Court of Appeal had ordered ASUU to suspend the strike before its appeal of the ruling ordering lecturers to resume work can be heard.
Members of the union’s National Executive Committee, comprising the chairmen of the state chapters and national executive members, attended the meeting at the ASUU National Secretariat in Abuja.
ASUU has been on strike since February 14 this year.
