The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has threatened a new industrial action against the Federal Government over the partial and flawed implementation of the December 2025 agreement.
The union listed several unresolved issues, including the withholding of three-and-a-half months’ salaries, promotion arrears, shortfalls in salaries due to the IPPIS platform, unremitted third-party deductions, and arrears of the 25–35 per cent wage award.
These concerns were highlighted in a communique issued after the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held at Modibbo Adama University, Yola.
Reading the communique in Abuja on Monday, ASUU President, Prof. Christopher Piwuna, warned that the government’s apparent lack of interest in the welfare of Nigerian academics is generating pent-up anger that could lead to a fresh wave of industrial unrest.
“The union appeals to all genuine patriots, well-meaning Nigerians and lovers of Nigeria to prevail on State and Federal governments to fully implement the new Agreement and resolve other outstanding issues in the interest of parents, students and the nation at large,” he said.
Prof. Piwuna added that ASUU remains open to dialogue with the government but has directed that an emergency NEC meeting be convened in the coming weeks to review the situation and take necessary action.
