The Academic Staff Union Of Polytechnics (ASUP), Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) and Senior Staff Association Of Nigeria Polytechnics (SSANIP), Yaba College Of Technology chapter have collectively suspended the lingering industrial action.
Earlier on Monday, August the 15th, 2016, NASU started the decision by suspending the strike action. In conjunction with this development, the duo of ASUP and SSANIP, in congresses held within the college today (Tuesday) hereby suspend the strike for three weeks.

In a briefing after the congresses, sources addressed PaulTrendBlog  on the ground of anonymity.
"We have suspended the strike for now, that is, for three weeks' time. If the management of the College still persist on removing from our salaries and allowances this month, then we shall re-converge to take immediate action. So, we are fully coming to work"...one of the attendants, ASUP wing reports. 
 
A senior lecturer further tells PaulTrendBlog that the agreement ASUP had with the federal government has to be met. Since the money withdrew earlier has been reinstated, we therefore suspend the strike for three weeks' time. This is to allow the government to keep to their promises. But if this is failed then we shall down tool.
Meanwhile, the long-awaited first semester examination of the Part-Time (PT) programme which has since been postponed "till further notice" is yet to be addressed. According to a senior lecturer, the issue is not certain, until money is paid to the PT lecturers. 

Full-Time programmes are therefore informed to commence academic activities promptly!!!
