The Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU) has called off the 76-day strike that crippled learning in public university.

The lecturers said they arrived at the decision with Inter-public universities’ councils consultative forum (IPUCCF) for the sake of the students as the Government declined to make an additional counter offer to the earlier 1.75 per cent pay rise.
