The Academic Staff Union of Universities has agreed to call of its eight-month strike which has grounded academic activities in the public universities.
The union leadership reached the consensus during a meeting with the government team led by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, Punch reports.
Key to the agreement is the pledge by the Federal Government to scale up the total payment to the union to N70 billion.
This major breakthrough comes a week after the Federal Government accepted the demand by the ASUU that they be exempted from the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System.
