The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has threatened to embark on another strike over the Federal Government’s failure to fully implement the December 2025 agreement reached by both parties.
The union gave the warning at its National Executive Council meeting held at Modibbo Adama University, Yola, on May 9 and 10.
ASUU, in a statement signed on Monday by its President, Chris Piwuna, decried it as the “distorted and uncoordinated” implementation of the agreement by federal and state governments.
The union also condemned the selective implementation of components of the agreement such as Consolidated Academic Allowances, Earned Academic Allowances, and Professorial Allowances by administrators of federal universities.

It equally faulted the National Research Council and the Minister of Education’s announcement of a National Research and Innovation Development Fund proposed by the federal government.
“This interactive session was called to present the outcome of our review of the implementation of the signed agreement and other outstanding issues following the NEC meeting held at Modibbo Adama University, 9th–10th May, 2026,” the statement read.
The union embarked on a two-week nationwide warning strike on October 13, 2025, over the government’s failure to honor the 2009 FGN/ASUU agreement.
The varsity teachers demanded the payment of salary arrears, improved funding, and university autonomy at the time.
