The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) branch at Abia State University (ABSU) has suspended its ongoing strike and instructed its members to resume academic duties immediately from August 28, 2026. This decision came after a congress meeting where the union reviewed the issues that led to the strike. However, the union has expressed concern over the continued suspension of Professor Nnamdi Nwaeze and has given the university management until September 4, 2026, to recall him and lift his suspension.
Failure to comply may result in the resumption of the strike. The union appreciates the unity and resilience of its members during the industrial action and reminds them that only the branch chairperson, Dr Chidi S. Mba, is authorized to speak officially on their behalf.
