After receiving a one month incentives over the weekend Makerere University lecturers have called off their strike.
Yesterday evening Makerere University Academic Staff Association(MUASA) after having a premature meeting, University council today called off their strike.
In the early meeting, the MUASA had been denied their incentives one thing that forced them out of the meeting. This called for the University council to charge their bank accounts with incentives of one month last Saturday.
It is worthy noting that President Yoweri Museveni indefinitely closed Makerere University and ordered all students to evacuate the University premises in November this year when negotiations between the University council , management, striking staff and students hit dead end.
The University teaching staff staged a strike after the University council failed to clear their salaries and incetives for eight months and the students were calling for lessons resume.
In case an agreement between both parties is reached today, the ‘Ivory tower’ may be reopened and normal lecturers shall resume.
