The decision was announced after a meeting between the leadership of the union and representatives of the state government.
Chairman of NUT in the state, Dare Ilekoya, and his counterpart in the Academic Staff Union of Secondary Schools in Nigeria, Akeem Lasisi, addressed a joint press briefing after a congress of the two bodies held at the NUT Hall, Abeokuta.
Ilekoya, who spoke on behalf of the teachers said, "We are here today to tell the public that government has decided to call us for discussions, we met and all our issues were looked into."
The teachers had earlier called the strike over allegation that the state government failed to remit deductions meant for the cooperative society, as well as non-payment of peculiar allowance.
Ilekoya said, "Government called us for discussions; we met and all our issues were looked into."
He said government also agreed to pay the October deductions with immediate effect, while the remaining will be paid subsequently.
Ilekoya added that government would set up a committee to look into the matter and all other problems affecting teachers.
