The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has issued a 14-day ultimatum to 20 universities for failing to implement the 2025 Federal Government-ASUU agreement. This decision was made at the union's National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held at the University of Abuja on August 8 and 9, 2026. ASUU President Christopher Piwuna highlighted the union's concerns over the haphazard implementation of the agreement and the federal government's failure to release the necessary subvention for full implementation.
The union also criticized visitors to state-owned universities who have yet to comply with the agreement. ASUU authorized affected university branches to initiate procedures for industrial action, contingent upon the issuance of a 14-day ultimatum. The affected institutions include Nasarawa State University, Keffi; Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai; University of Medical Sciences, Ondo; and others.
Upon the expiration of the ultimatums, the affected branches are instructed to embark on strike to press their demands.
