• Say impact on education devastating
• ‘Prolonged closure will lower global rating’
• ‘Students have been disoriented’
As the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) suspended its nine-month-old strike, yesterday, professors from various institutions said the action had left colossal loss to the nation.
The suspension came after ASUU and the Federal Government resolved the contentious issues that had prolonged the strike. ASUU’s National President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, announced the suspension of the strike at a press conference shortly after the National Executive Council meeting (NEC) of the union resolved that the protracted strike action be suspended conditionally.
Ogunyemi, however, warned that if government failed to fulfill its own part of the agreement, ASUU would resume the strike.
