Public Universities Shut Down as ASUU Begins Comprehensive Two-Week Strike

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has announced a total and comprehensive two-week warning strike affecting all public universities across Nigeria.

The Union’s National President, Professor Chris Piwuna, made the announcement during a press conference at the University of Abuja, stating that there had been no meaningful progress to prevent the union from moving forward with its planned industrial action.

He explained that the fourteen-day notice had lapsed without any substantial response from the relevant authorities, adding that all ASUU branches across the country have been directed to commence a full withdrawal of their services beginning at midnight on Monday, October thirteen, two thousand and twenty-five.

ASUU accused the government of playing a game of delay and deception, adding that ASUU could no longer continue to tolerate endless appeals without tangible outcomes.
