Despite ‘No Work, No Pay Threat, ASUU Begins Nationwide 2-Week Strike
THECONSCIENCE NG reports that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has begun a two-week warning strike affecting all public universities across Nigeria.
The move is despite the Federal Government’s warning that it may trigger ‘a work, no policy’.
The Union’s National President, Professor Chris Piwuna, made the announcement during a press conference held on Sunday at the University of Abuja.
The National President of ASUU, Professor Chris Piwuna, stated that there had been no meaningful progress to prevent the union from moving forward with its planned industrial action.
He explained that the 14-day notice, issued on September 28, 2025, had lapsed without any substantial response from the relevant authorities.
He stated that all ASUU branches across the country have been directed to commence a full withdrawal of their services beginning at midnight on Monday, October 13, 2025.
According to Professor Piwuna, the strike would be both total and comprehensive, in line with the resolution reached at the union’s most recent National Executive Council (NEC) meeting.
