Deputy Registrar, Information, of the University, Dr. William Wordi said the institution pulled out of the 5-month old strike in the interest of the students.
Wordi said the Senate also decided to pay the backlog of salary areas of lecturers who resumed work on the announced date.
Meanwhile, the UNIPORT chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, said there is no going back on the strike until the Federal Government meets all their demands.
Chairman of ASUU in the University, Prof. Anthonia Okerengwo said the students would be wasting their time if they resumed on the stipulated date and added that the Union was not moved by Federal Government’s threat to sack lecturers who refused to resume to work.
