The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has issued a 14-day ultimatum to the Federal Government, demanding urgent action on longstanding issues affecting the university system.
Following a National Executive Council meeting on Sunday at the University of Abuja, ASUU expressed frustration over government neglect and failure to address their demands despite rallies and public appeals.
In a statement signed by ASUU National President Chris Piwuna, the union warned that if the government does not respond within two weeks, it will begin a two-week warning strike, potentially escalating to a total and indefinite strike.
Key demands include:
- Re-negotiation of the 2009 ASUU-FGN agreement
- Sustainable funding for universities
- Revitalisation of the university system
- Addressing victimisation cases at LASU, KSU (now Prince Abubakar Audu University), and FUTO
ASUU stressed that past efforts to engage the government have been largely ignored, emphasizing the need for immediate action to prevent disruption to academic activities.
