Strike: ASUU to shut down all Nigerian universities Friday

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has announced plans to shut down all public universities in Nigeria indefinitely from Friday.

The union disclosed this in a terse statement on its official X account on Tuesday.

The decision will be implemented if the Federal Government fails to meet all its demands, including fair remuneration and improved working conditions for lecturers, to stem the ongoing exodus of academic talent from Nigerian universities.

“All universities will be closed nationwide till further notice on Friday,” the union wrote on X.
