ASUU Strike: UNN Resumes, Students Return October 22

As the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has suspended its eight-month-old strike, the UNN (University of Nigeria Nsukka) has announced October 22, as the resumption date for students.

A memo signed by the University registrar dated October 14, indicated that students are to return to campus on Saturday, October 22, 2022, while lectures for second semester will resume on Monday, October 24.

Further details in the UNN memo stated that lectures will end on Friday, October 29 while revision will take place from Monday October 31 to Friday November 4.

Students are to sit for their second semester examinations between Monday, November 7 and 26, 2022.

The memo also indicated that students are to return for a new session immediately after the examinations, on December 3, 2022.

 

Recall that ASUU suspended the strike last Friday, following a series of meetings, negotiations and disagreements which climaxed with an Appeal Court ruling that the academic body should first obey the National Industrial Court order by calling off the strike. This is also coupled with the intervention of the House of Representatives leadership to resolve the impasse.

The UNN was on the verge of concluding its second semester when the union began the strike over  eight months ago
