Academic and commercial activities have resumed at the University of Ibadan after a six-week strike by Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that lectures have resumed, while administrative offices were also open for operations.
Non-academic staff members were seen in their various offices while businesses in the university were full of activities.
Some students, who spoke with NAN, expressed happiness at the suspension of strike.
They thanked ASUU and the Federal Government for fruitful dialogue which led to the suspension of the strike.
A first year law student, Miss Oluwadamilola Salako, told NAN that she was happy when ASUU ended the strike.
Salako said that she was bored at home.
A fifth year student of electrical/electronic engineering, Mr Alo Oluwabamise, also expressed delight at the development.
He, however, said that ASUU strike had become recurrent.
When contacted, the university’s Director of Communication and Publications, Mr Olatunji Oladejo, said that the management would soon announce an adjusted academic calendar.
NAN reports that the university management had in a press release signed by the Registrar, Mr Olu Olujimi, informed the general public, especially students, that second semester lectures began on Tuesday.
Lecturers in public universities, under the aegis of ASUU, embarked on what they described as total, comprehensive and indefinite nationwide strike on Aug. 13.
