The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has resolved to shelve its plan to embark on an industrial action to compel federal government to meet its demands.
Instead the union said it has decided to go for more consultations and to give government opportunity to address all outstanding issues arising from the December 2020 Memoradum of Action (MoA).
ASUU had threatened to take measures, which included downing tools, to get government to address its demands.
However, in a statement issued by the ASUU President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, the union said it took account of efforts by many patriotic Nigerians both within and outside the country to ensure amicable resolution of the dispute.
But Osodake said ASUU would resist any plan to blackmail the union and derail its patriotic struggle for a productive University system "by official propaganda founded on tokenism and crumb-sharing."
The statement which summed up decisions reached at the emergency National Executive Council (NEC) of ASUU held at its National Secretariat at the University of Abuja, at the weekend, said the union would review the situation at another date.
