ASUU Warns Nigerian Government Against New Universities Amid Existing Challenges

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) cautions the Nigerian government on establishing new universities while neglecting existing ones facing challenges. ASUU's Akure Zonal Coordinator, Prof.

Adeola Egbedokun, criticizes the government for approving new licenses despite a seven-year moratorium. ASUU rejects a proposed 35% salary increase, citing unresolved issues from a 2009 agreement.

They demand renegotiation, outstanding payments, and sustainable funding for Nigerian universities.
