Saturday, August 29, 2026 - The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Friday suspended its strike action at Abia State University, Uturu, with a directive that all academic staff should resume duties.
The suspension of the industrial action was announced by the
Chairman and Secretary of ASUU at Abia State University, Chidi Mba and Victor
Obisike, respectively, in a statement.
According to the ASUU leaders, the decision followed a
resolution reached at the union’s congress meeting held on Friday, August
28, 2026, after members considered developments surrounding the issues that led
to the industrial action.
The ASUU members, however, expressed concern over the
continued suspension of Professor of Economics Nnamdi Nwaeze and gave the
university management until Friday, September 4, 2026, to recall him and
lift the suspension imposed on him.
The union resolved that failure by the management to act
within the stipulated period would leave it with no option but to resume the
suspended industrial action.
The branch leadership appreciated members for their unity,
resilience, commitment and support throughout the period of the industrial
action.
The branch also reminded members that only the branch
chairperson is authorised to speak officially on behalf of ASUU at Abia State
University.
