ASUU strike, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has announced that it is mobilizing members nationwide for a major rally set to take place on Tuesday, August 26, 2025.
Speaking at a press conference on Monday at the Federal University of Oye-Ekiti, Zonal Coordinator Adeola Oyebisi Egbedokun explained that the action is part of ASUU’s ongoing efforts to compel the Federal Government to meet its long-standing demands.
Egbedokun emphasized that the planned rallies represent the union’s first bold response to the government’s continued silence, warning that the protests are just a precursor to more intense actions if their grievances remain unresolved.
According to him, the rallies will be held simultaneously across universities in the country, with academic activities suspended during the demonstrations.
According to him, the National Executive Council, NEC, of ASUU has given the government until its scheduled meeting of August 28 to respond to its demands, after which the next line of action would be determined.
“For over two years, we have kept faith with dialogue and refrained from strikes, but our patience has reached its limit.
“If the government continues to play games with the future of our universities, then it must bear the consequences of the storm that will follow,” he warned.
