This major development comes just hours after earlier reports indicated that CETAG held an emergency meeting to deliberate on the ongoing impasse. In our previous report this morning, it was revealed that there were strong indications the strike could be called off following internal discussions by the association. At the time, CETAG had not issued an official statement, though expectations were high that a final decision would soon be communicated.

That anticipated confirmation has now been made. CETAG has formally announced the suspension of the industrial action, bringing an end to nearly three months of disruption in Colleges of Education. The strike, which centered on the payment of allowances, had persisted despite government assurances that funds had been allocated. CETAG maintained that the strike would only be called off once the approved funds were fully credited to their accounts.

With the suspension now in effect, lecturers are expected to return to lecture halls, allowing academic activities to continue without further delay. This decision is being widely welcomed by students, administrators, and stakeholders within the education sector.

For students who have been on campus waiting anxiously for lectures to begin, this announcement marks the start of a return to normal academic life.
