ASUU Gears Up for Nationwide Strike Over Government Inaction

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is mobilizing its members nationwide in preparation for a possible warning strike as the ultimatum given to the Federal Government nears expiration. ASUU expressed disappointment over the government's lack of commitment to resolving issues affecting the university system.

The union aims to compel the government to sign and implement a renegotiated agreement transmitted since February 2025. ASUU President, Professor Christopher Piwuna, highlighted the need for a meaningful response from the government.

The union's decision follows a review of outcomes from a referendum conducted across branches. The ultimatum is a strategic move to push for the resolution of long-standing issues affecting the education sector in Nigeria.
