The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, embarked on a nationwide rally across all public university campuses to press the Federal Government on unresolved issues.
ASUU’s demands include the renegotiation of the 2009 ASUU–FGN agreement, improved welfare packages, opposition to the TISSF student loan scheme, and halting the unchecked establishment of new universities.
Academic activities have been suspended today as lecturers mobilize nationwide. The union has given the Federal Government a deadline of August 28, 2025, to address their demands or face possible strike action.
The rallies serve as a warning signal of intensified industrial action if the government fails to act.
