The move follows a recent national executive council meeting held by ASUU at the University of Ibadan on August 19, 2024.

During this meeting, ASUU members threatened a nationwide strike due to the Federal Government’s failure to fulfil the 2009 renegotiated agreement.

ASUU’s demands include improved welfare, increased university funding, and a halt to the proliferation of universities in the country.
