The University of Benin, UNIBEN, has pulled out of the on-going 6-month-old ASUU strike, instructing students to resume on 7th of December, 2013 for the conclusion of lectures, while examinations for the session will begin on 6th January, 2014.
A new academic calendar for the 2012/2013 academic session has already been pasted in the school.

Management of the University of Port Harcourt, UNIPORT, has also announced resumption date for academic activities in the institution- December 9.
The management made the announcement after an extra-ordinary Senate meeting held on Tuesday.
Deputy Registrar, Information, of the University, Dr. William Wordi said the management of the institution found it worthy to end the 5-month-old strike in the interest of the students.
Wordi said the Senate also decided to pay the backlog of salary areas of lecturers who resume work on the announced date.
Meanwhile, the UNIPORT chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, said there is no going back on the strike until the Federal Government meets all their demands.
Chairman of ASUU in the University, Prof. Anthonia Okerengwo said the students would be wasting their time if they resumed on the stipulated date.
She said the Union was not moved by Federal Government's threat to sack lecturers who refuse to resume work.
