The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has suspended the two-week warning strike it began on October 13, 2025.
The industrial action was suspended following renewed commitments from the Federal Government and the National Assembly to address the union’s demands.
ASUU President, Professor Chris Piwuna, made the announcement at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, citing recent interventions and engagements with the Yayale Ahmed-led committee and the Deputy Senate President as the reasons for suspending the action before its scheduled end.

ASUU, however, urged the government to take advantage of the one-month suspension window to meet their demands, which include the review of the 2009 ASUU-Federal Government agreement, payment of outstanding salaries and earned allowances, and disbursement of the university revitalisation fund, among others.
ASUU also warned that the union would resume the industrial action without prior notice if no concrete steps are taken within the next one month.
