Members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), have suspended their four-month strike.
The lecturers had started the strike in August to protest unpaid salaries and arrears, blaming the Ondo State government under Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa for neglecting the university.
Chairman of ASUU AAUA, Bolawaji Oshodi, confirmed the suspension, saying it followed an agreement with the university management.
“For now, we have suspended tuhe strike. This decision is based on the understanding we reached with the university management, who have been supportive.
We are still owed one month’s salary, but because of our commitment to the system and our students, we have decided to suspend the strike,” Oshodi said.
Earlier, ASUU AAUA had written to the university and state government about unpaid salaries and arrears.
Oshodi explained that the strike was necessary because the university is underfunded and lecturers were owed salaries for July and August, along with other arrears and promotion dues.
“We decided that until these issues are fully addressed, we cannot return to work,” he added.
