The Academic Staff Union of Universities, University of Medical Sciences, Ondo (ASUU-UNIMEDO), has suspended its total, comprehensive and indefinite strike following the implementation of the 2025 Federal Government-ASUU agreement by the Ondo State Government.
The union announced the suspension after its congress meeting held on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, to review the strike and the state government’s commitment to the implementation of the agreement.
In a statement signed by the ASUU-UNIMEDO Chairperson, Comrade Abraham Oladebeye, and Secretary, Comrade Adeniran Akinola, the union said the review focused on the payment of August 2026 salary arrears and September 2026 salary.
According to the union, the payments were in line with the commitment contained in a letter issued by the Ondo State Government on September 21, 2026.
The congress expressed appreciation to the state government and the university administration for implementing the agreement as reflected in the payment of the salary arrears and September salary.
“After exhaustive deliberations, Congress appreciated Ondo State Government and University Administration for the implementation of the 2025 FGN-ASUU Agreement in August 2026 salary arrears and September 2026 salary,” the statement said.
It consequently resolved to suspend the strike until January 2027, in line with the commitment made by the state government.
However, ASUU warned that failure by the government to honour its commitment would lead to the immediate reactivation of the suspended strike without another ultimatum.
The union therefore directed all its members to resume their statutory academic duties, including lectures, classes, continuous assessments, examinations, seminars and postgraduate academic activities.
It also directed members to resume departmental, faculty, committee and Senate meetings, students’ research supervision, industrial training supervision and fieldwork, signalling the immediate return of full academic activities at the University of Medical Sciences, Ondo.
