The Academic Staff Union of the Universities (ASUU), has announced a two- week total and comprehensive warning affecting all public universities nationwide.

ASUU National President Professor Chris Piwuna, made the announcement in a news briefing at the University of Abuja.

“Compatriots of the press, it goes without saying that there is nothing sufficient on ground to stop the implementation of the ASUU-NEC’s resolution to embark on a two-week warning strike at the expiry of 14-day notice given on the 28th of September 2025”, Piwuna said.

He stated that all ASUU branches have been instructed to suspend academic activities and withdraw their services beginning midnight on Monday, October 13, 2025.

According to him, the action will be “total and comprehensive” as resolved at union’s last National Executive Council (NEC) meeting.

The strike is part of ASUU’s continued push for the Federal Government to address outstanding issues related to the University funding, staff welfare, and pending agreements.
