ASUU Issues Fresh Nationwide Warning Ahead of Possible Indefinite Strike 🚨📚
Published: November 2025 · UniHub Connect TV
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has issued a strong warning indicating that a nationwide indefinite strike may begin as early as November 21, 2025, if the Federal Government fails to fulfil previously signed agreements.
Where the Warning Came From
The statement was issued by the ASUU Owerri Zone, covering several universities in the South-East. The zone accused the Federal Government of selective implementation of key demands, and warned that ASUU should not be blamed if universities shut down again.
Does This Affect All ASUU Chapters? ✔️
Yes — while the warning came from the Owerri Zone, it reflects the national position of ASUU. Zonal statements usually signal the next move of the ASUU National Executive Council (NEC), which can declare a full nationwide strike if the government fails to respond.
Why ASUU Is Angry
- Non-implementation of the 2009 FG–ASUU agreement
- Delayed revitalization and earned allowance funds
- Unresolved issues with staff welfare and university funding
- Accusation that the Education Minister made “misleading statements” about meeting ASUU’s demands
ASUU insists the government must act before the deadline to prevent another shutdown of academic activities nationwide.
What Students Should Expect
If no meaningful progress is made before November 21:
- A nationwide indefinite strike may be declared
- Academic calendars will be disrupted
- Graduating students may face delays
- Admission processes could be affected
What Happens Next?
The ASUU National Executive Council (NEC) is expected to meet soon to review developments. If the government fails to act, NEC may officially announce the strike.
