Voice of America: University Teachers in Nigeria Suspend Strike
The Academic Staff Union of Universities, the ASUU, a representative body for teachers of state-owned universities in Nigeria, says the strike was suspended to give the new Nigerian administration a chance to address its grievances.
Union president Abdullahi Sule-Kano says President Umaru Yar’Adua’s personal intervention and appeals from the public also weighed in on reaching a decision to call off the action. He said the government has agreed to address some of the issues the teachers raised.
