The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has announced the suspension of its two-week warning strike initiated on Monday, 13 October 2025.
This happened during an emergency meeting of its National Executive Council (NEC) held in Abuja on Tuesday, 21 October 2025, which concluded in the early hours of Wednesday, 22 October 2025.
At a press briefing immediately after the meeting, ASUU President Chris Piwuna revealed that the decision was driven by renewed engagements between the union and federal government representatives over several unresolved demands.
He said the union would pause the strike to allow the government a one-month ultimatum to meet its outstanding issues.
The demands include the full implementation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement, payment of withheld salaries and promotion arrears, improved funding for public universities, and protection against victimisation of lecturers.
