According to Dr. Ugoh, the union decided not to proceed with the strike as salaries began to reflect in members’ accounts before the expiration of the 11:59 p.m. deadline issued by the branch.

“The June 2025 salary of our members started to drop before the end of the 11:59 p.m. Monday, 7th July 2025 ultimatum given by ASUU UniAbuja. Therefore, the branch did not activate the withdrawal of service as earlier resolved by Congress,” he stated.
