Nasarawa state tertiary institutions suspend strike

                             

The two weeks strike, embarked upon by the Joint Union of tertiary institutions  of Nassarawa state, has been called off.  It embarked on the strike on April 5, citing  State Government’s refusal  to address welfare related issues. The suspension  was announced today, after an emergency meeting of the Union.

The Chairman, Mr. Arik Bashaiyi,stated that the strike was called off due to the commitment the state government has shown through  the tertiary institutions owned by the state.

According to him,the State Government has agreed  ton 75% of the demands, which resulted in the suspension of the strike.

He also called on members to resume  work, pending further directives  from the Union.
