The national leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities has directed members or the Union not to teach at their various universities for the next two weeks.
It said it took the action following the expiration of the 14-day ultimatum it earlier issued to the Federal Government.
Speaking at a pretty we conference in Abuja on Sunday, the President of ASUU, Professor Chris Piwuna, said the industrial action takes immediate effect.
He said the 14-day warning strike was aimed at compelling the government to honour outstanding agreements and address the persistent challenges facing public universities in Nigeria.
Recall that the union had on September 28, 2025, issued a 14-day ultimatum to the federal government as part of renewed efforts by the union to push for the resolution of long-standing issues within the nation’s university system.
He said, “Consequently, all branches of ASUU are hereby directed to withdraw their voices with effect from midnight 12.01 am on Monday 13th October 2025.
“The warning strike shall be total and comprehensive as agreed at the last NEC meeting.”
