ASUU issues 14-day ultimatum to FG over unresolved issues

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has issued a 14-day ultimatum to the Federal Government of Nigeria.

The decision was reached during a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at the University of Abuja.

“ At the National Executive Council meeting held at the University of Abuja on the 28th of September, 2025, the Union decried the neglect of the University system and the government’s consistent refusal to heed to its demands.

Recall that the Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Education set up a committee headed by the permanent secretary of the ministry, Abel Enitan to look into a proposal for ASUU in a bid to ensure stability across universities.

ASUU’s primary demands remain unchanged: the renegotiation of the 2009 agreement, provision of adequate revitalization funds for universities, payment of outstanding salary arrears, and the establishment of a sustainable funding framework for higher education institutions.
