ASUU Threatens Nationwide Strike After One-Month Ultimatum!

Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has issued a stern warning to the Federal Government, threatening to resume a nationwide strike if ongoing disputes are not resolved within a month.

“If the government fails to act within the given time, we will be left with no choice but to take necessary industrial action,” ASUU President Emmanuel Osodeke stated.

Key Issues:

• Non-implementation of past agreements, including funding for revitalisation.
• Withheld salaries due to previous strikes.
• Concerns over IPPIS and the need for a more university-friendly payment platform.

Why It Matters:

• A renewed strike would disrupt academic calendars and worsen education delays.
• Prolonged industrial actions have long-term effects on students and university operations.
• Dialogue breakdown could spark wider unrest in the tertiary education sector.

What to Watch:

• Government-ASUU negotiations before the ultimatum expires.
• Reactions from students, university administrations, and NANS.
• Possible mediation by the Ministry of Labour and Employment.
