The Academic Staff Union of College of Education, Azare, Bauchi
State, COEASU, has suspended its indefinite industrial action in the
institution.
In February, the union embarked on strike over what it described as
alleged insensitity of the management and governing council in
re-appointing Aliyu Shehu as Registrar of the college as well as the
termination of the appointments of 194 striking lecturers.
In a statement signed by the Chairman of the union, Comrade Sanusi
Ibrahim in Bauchi, yesterday, the union stated that the suspension
followed the intervention of the Katagum Emirate Council which met and
resolved the matter with Governor Isa Yuguda.
Ibrahim said that Yuguda was not aware that 194 lecturers in
COEASUwere sacked and directed the state head of service to meet with
the governing council of the college to resolve the problems once and
for all.
“We have seen a reasonable commitment from the side of the state
government because the state head of service has been visiting Azare
frequently over the matter and has held discussions with the Wazirin
Katagum and in view of the present intervention, we have suspended the
strike.”
