The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Jos branch, has warned that Nigeria’s public universities may face another industrial crisis over the Federal Government’s alleged failure to fully implement the 2025 agreement reached with the union.
Speaking during a press conference on Monday, ASUU said frustration was rising among lecturers and warned that the fragile peace in public universities could collapse if urgent action is not taken.
The union said its National Executive Council (NEC), which met at Modibbo Adama University on May 9 and 10, reviewed the implementation of the December 2025 agreement and expressed dissatisfaction with the government’s level of compliance.
ASUU accused the Federal Government of failing to inaugurate the Implementation Monitoring Committee meant to oversee the agreement.
According to the union, the delay has affected the implementation of key allowances, including the Consolidated Academic and Tool Allowance (CATA), Earned Academic Allowance (EAA), Professorial Allowance and other responsibility allowances.
The union also listed unresolved issues affecting lecturers, including withheld salaries from the 2022 strike, promotion arrears, IPPIS-related salary shortfalls and unpaid wage awards.
ASUU appealed to President Bola Tinubu to intervene and address the lingering issues.
The union warned that continued failure to implement the agreement could trigger fresh industrial action across public universities.
