The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has announced the suspension of its week-long strike.

The suspension of the strike is contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday and signed by the association’s National Secretary, Mr Promise Adewusi.

It said that the decision to suspend the strike was informed by the Federal Government’s compliance with the association’s demands.

“Following substantial compliance to our demand for the payment of August and September salaries of our members which is the reason for our current national strike action, we hereby suspend the strike and direct all our members to return to their duties with effect from Monday, the 14th of October, 2013.”

The statement thanked members of the association for their solidarity, adding that the non payment of the salaries of its members for work done would not happen again. (NAN)
