The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has suspended its two-week warning strike after what it described as “fruitful engagements” with the Federal Government.
ASUU President, Prof. Chris Piwuna, announced the suspension at a press briefing in Abuja, following an emergency meeting of the union’s National Executive Council (NEC). He explained that while the government had not fully met all demands, significant progress had been made during negotiations.
“The NEC resolved to suspend the warning strike to allow for further dialogue. However, we are giving the government one month to conclude the renegotiation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement and address other unresolved issues,” Piwuna stated.
The union warned that it reserves the right to resume strike action without notice if the government fails to deliver within the one-month window.
ASUU had embarked on the strike on October 13, 2025, citing the government’s failure to implement agreements on revitalisation funding, earned allowances, and university autonomy. The suspension comes as a relief to students and parents, though uncertainty remains over whether a permanent resolution will be reached.
