Osun lecturers call off strike

The Academic Staff Unions of Osun owned tertiary institutions have ended their industrial strike action after a meeting between state government and leadership of the unions.

It was resolved at the meeting that the current financial challenges from the dwindling Federal revenue account had affected payment of salaries and other critical areas of needs of the country.

The union while signing an agreement with government at the Governor’s Office in Osogbo on Tuesday night, said it was agreed that the state had withdrawn all legal suits against the union, hence the suspension of the strike.
