The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has expressed deep frustration over the federal government’s failure to honor agreements reached in previous negotiations.
According to ASUU President, Emmanuel Osodeke, the union has fulfilled its part of the renegotiation process, yet the government has taken no concrete steps to implement the agreed terms. 
This inaction, he emphasized, has left lecturers in a difficult position, affecting the overall state of the education sector.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that ASUU and the federal government had earlier reached a tentative agreement following persistent warnings from the union about a potential strike.
However, no significant progress has been made, raising concerns about another possible disruption in academic activities.
“The union has played its role, but the government has yet to take any meaningful action,” Osodeke stated, highlighting the urgency of the situation.
Students are among those most affected by this prolonged neglect, as continuous delays in addressing lecturers’ concerns pose a threat to the stability of Nigeria’s tertiary education system.
Furthermore, no employee would want to continue working under conditions where their entitlements are not met, making the union’s grievances even more pressing.
Moreover, ASUU’s repeated warnings signal an urgent need for the government to intervene before another crisis emerges.
Therefore, stakeholders believe the federal government must take immediate action to prevent an avoidable breakdown in academic activities.
Addressing ASUU’s demands is not only essential for lecturers but also crucial for ensuring a stable academic future for Nigerian students.
