AsuuNsuka:Pay us our four months salary and we'll call of the strike

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka hasvoted to suspend the ongoing strike once the arrears of four months salaries are paid.At a meeting on Monday as a prelude to Wednesday's national congress in Kano, the branch said it was resolute about the issue of salaries which accumulated during the strike.The branch president of the union, Dr Ifeanyichukwu Abada, told journalist in Nsukka, Enugu State, the decision to suspend the strike was to respect the person of "Mr President for stepping into the matter".Abada said, however, that the strike would onlybe called off in the university if the salaries from July to date were paid.He said the lecturers were not expected to resume lectures without the salaries.He said that if the national body failed to insist on the salary caveat, the UNN branch would continue with the strike until otherwise.The lecturers embarked on the strike from July 1 citing the non-implementation of some agreement they allegedly reached with government in 2009.
