The calling off of the strike was made known in a press briefing earlier today after a long meeting of the Union which started Monday morning and ended in the early hours of Tuesday.
ASUU President Dr. Nasir Fagge, told journalists at the press briefing, held at the Science Complex building of the Federal University of Technology, Bosso Campus, Minna, Niger State, that it accepted the resolutions signed between ASUU and the Federal Government on the 11th December, 2013 with the President of Nigeria Labour Congress.

“Finally, NEC resolved to suspend the strike embarked upon on 1st July 2013, with effect from Tuesday December 17th, 2013 and directs its branches to resume work forthwith”, he said in his words.
He went further to condemn the effort of some Universities Vice Chancellors who attempted to break the rules of the Union by trying to pull out from the nationwide strike before the official suspension of the strike by the Universities Lecturer's Union.
He said as part of its expectation, the National Executive Committee expects the government to implement fully the resolutions reached and signed with the Union.
“First we expect that implementation monitoring committee which has already been constituted to the satisfaction of government and ASUU, will work assiduously so that the process of revitalisation of Nigerian universities will receive the much needed boost, and our students and their parents will begin to see the fruits of the ASUU struggles.
“Our members expect the immediate beginning of the revitalisation process, given, the letter FME/PS/398/C.I/Vol 1.1/110, of 12th December 2013, titled ‘Opening of a Dedicated Account for the Revitalisation of Nigerian Universities.”
The Union's President earlier apologised to the Nigerian Union of Journalists especially the
journalists, who were assaulted by some of the university lecturers on Monday at the FUT, permanent campus, Minna.

Fagge said, “I apologise to you for what transpired yesterday; it is not in our habit to chase away the press. We felt mosquitoes were biting you guys and you were outside in the cold.
“Please, whatever transpired between you (media) and ASUU was not in our nature, on behalf of the NEC and the whole ASUU, I tender an unreserved apology.”
