The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has issued a 14-day ultimatum to the Federal Government over unresolved labour issues.
The Unuon made the decision following a National Executive Council meeting held on Sunday at the University of Abuja.
The National President of ASUU, Prof. Chris Piwuna disclosed this in a statement he personally signed and made available to newsmen in Abuja on Monday..
It read: “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.
“It therefore issued the Federal Government 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.”
The Federal Government had 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 order to ensure stability across universities.
At the time of filing this report, the committee has yet to make any decision known to the public.
ASUU’s major demands include Renegotiation of the 2009 Agreement, adequate revitalisation funds for universities, settlement of outstanding salary arrears, and sustainable funding mechanisms.
