FG Must Honour 2009 Pact, Provide Funds For Varsities – ASUU

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has issued a 14-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to address long-standing demands or risk another round of industrial action.

The decision was reached at the union’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held on Sunday, at the University of Abuja. National President of ASUU, Prof.

Chris Piwuna, confirmed this in a statement he personally signed and released to the press in Abuja on Monday.

“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,” Piwuna stated.

The union’s core demands include the renegotiation of the 2009 agreement and the provision of revitalisation funds for universities.

It is also demanding the settlement of outstanding salary arrears and the establishment of sustainable funding mechanisms for the tertiary education sector.
