Lagos State University, Ojo, has said it will begin its second semester examinations for the 2008/2009 academic session on Monday, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

This was contained in a statement by the Registrar, Mr. Oluwatoyin Oshun, in Lagos on Thursday.

Also on Thursday, striking workers of the institution agreed to suspend their industrial action.

In the statement, Oshun said, “The Management wishes to advise all students to obtain the university official bulletin dated December 3, 2009 for details on the revised 2008/2009 academic calendar.”

It also said the revision and registration processes that commenced last Monday would end on Friday (today).
