The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has threatened to embark on an indefinite strike in 14 days if the Federal Government fails to address the unresolved welfare issues affecting them.
ASUU decried the neglect of the University system and the government’s consistent refusal to heed to its demands on issues affecting the performance of the lecturers across the country’s tertiary institutions.
The union decided to embark on the strike after the national executive council members met yesterday in Abuja and decided that the industrial action would compel the Federal Government to address its demands.
The national president of ASUU, Prof. Chris Piwuna, made this known in a copy of the strike action he personally signed and made available to newsmen in 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.
“Accordingly, ASUU has given the Federal Government of Nigeria an Ultimatum of fourteen (14) days within which to address these issues. If at the end of the fourteen-day ultimatum, the Federal Government fails to address these issues, the Union may have no option but to, first, embark on a two-week warning strike and thereafter, a total and indefinite strike.”
