lingering ASUU strike to allow public university
students to return to their classes as reports

members of ASUU in the University who have
been front-liners in the industrial action today
accepted the new offer from the FG and voted
that the strike be suspend. Other Universities
that have so far voted for the suspension of the industrial action are Ahmadu Bello
University, Zaria, Uthman Dan Fodio University
Sokoto, Federal University of Technology
