Striking lecturers at Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education (AOCOED), Ijanikin, Lagos, have resumed work following the suspension of the monthlong strike called by Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU).
A correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria, who visited the institution on Friday, reports that the lecturers were back in the classrooms teaching students.
In addition, other workers were also seen in their duty posts, signifying the gradual restoration of business at the institution.
