The Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities ASUU, University of Ilorin Chapter, Professor SALIU AJAO, says the union is ready to return to the classroom.

AJAO, who spoke with newsmen in Ilorin, said the move followed the recent suspension of the nine-month-old national strike by the Union.

Professor AJAO commended the students of the institution and their parents for their patience and understanding while the industrial action lasted.

He explained that the Union had to embark on the strike to press home its demands on various issues, whose implementation would complement the progress of the nation’s educational system.

AJAO said that UNILORIN lecturers, like their colleagues in other institutions across the country, have returned to their desks and were fully ready to resume teaching, conducting research and engaging in community services.
