The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has announced that it has adopted new measures aimed at amending the long-standing 2009 agreement between the union and the Nigerian government. This was disclosed in an official statement released by the union.
According to ASUU, the decision to implement these new steps comes after years of unresolved disputes and unfulfilled promises regarding the 2009 agreement. The union emphasized that the current updates are part of efforts to address long-standing issues affecting university funding, staff welfare, and revitalization of public universities.
The ASUU leadership noted that these revisions were necessary to reflect current realities and improve the higher education sector. They also called on the federal government to show genuine commitment in honoring the renegotiated terms to avoid further industrial actions.
The statement reiterated ASUU’s dedication to ensuring quality and affordable education in Nigeria while urging its members to remain united and vigilant during the ongoing negotiation process.
The 2009 agreement has been a major source of conflict between ASUU and the government for over a decade, often leading to strikes that disrupt the academic calendar in public universities across the country.
