The Federal Government has apologized to students and
parents after the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) called off its
eight-month strike.
ASUU’s leadership announced the conditional suspension of
the industrial action on Friday.
The Ministry of Labour and Employment has now thanked all
those involved in the negotiations leading to the calling off of the strike.
A statement by Olajide Oshundun, the Deputy Director of
Press in the Ministry, read in part: “Now that ASUU has decided to obey the
judgement of the National Industrial Court by calling off the devastating
action, we apologize to all students and parents, of which the Honorable
Minister is one, for this unduly prolonged strike, which is unwarranted ab
initio.”
It added that “a groundwork is being laid, of which we are
confident, will save Nigerians, this unpalatable experience of incessant
strikes in future.”
