ASUU Threatens Indefinite Strike Over Unmet Agreement

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has threatened to embark on an indefinite strike in three state-owned universities if the governments of Edo, Delta, and Ondo States fail to implement the 2025 federal agreement by the end of July. Prof.

Mondai Igbafen, the zonal coordinator, announced this ultimatum during a press briefing in Benin. The affected institutions include Ambrose Alli University, Adekunle Ajasin University, Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology, and several others in Delta State.

ASUU has expressed frustration over the failure of the three state governments to implement the agreement, which was unveiled on January 14, 2026, despite other states having complied. The union has mobilized for a total shutdown of academic activities, blaming the state governments for not providing the necessary financial backing to meet their obligations.

ASUU remains committed to industrial peace but is prepared to take action if the situation does not improve.
