Jos – Jubilation, today greeted the suspension of the strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) among residents of Plateau State.

Students and parents who reacted following the announcement of the strike’s suspension rejoiced over the development saying it ended the frustration of idling away at home.

Some of the patents said they were unhappy seeing their children sitting at home while the strike lasted and thanked God that they can now go back to school.

Also rejoicing over the development are entrepreneurs who are into one business or the other at the university who said the strike had virtually thrown them out of business.

They were happy that they would be able to return to their businesses to earn a living and prayed that the strike should be the last.

Meanwhile, the University of Jos has announced the resumption of lectures by Friday.

Deputy Registrar, Information and Publications of the institution, Mr. Steve Otowo said hostels and lecture halls would be open immediately for normal academic activities to resume.

When is next ASUU strike coming up?

ABDULATEEFLAWAL is right. i am no muslim neither are my a boko haram extremist, i also in no way support the incessant bombing by boko haram. but will you punish every muslim for the sins of a few CRACK HEADS? NO! i have many islamic acquaintaces who are dissapointed that this sect of barbarians, use the holy Quran as a form of justification for their heartless and ruthless killing spree. So it will be grossly unfair to judge every muslim because of this, and it is such a pity that boko haram do not realise the extent to which they endanger not just other muslims, but the northern region as a whole.

^^^
Quran can easily be bent for evil. whether you like boko haram or not, they all claim to be doing the bid of Allah and they have verses from the Quran to support it.
Never will any Religion could be manipulated for evil. And the situation is same all over the world.

The jubilation is not only limited to Jos, there were jubilations everywhere in the country

What kind of news piece is this?,   Was the strike called off only in Jos?

Good.

Good.
