Some Nigerian students have been spotted online expressing their support for striking ASUU members, as they call on the FG to resolve the strike.
Ealier, the Unijos SUG president, Kangyang Pwajok noted in an interview with Trust TV News, that the federal government have failed in terms of funding the educational system in Nigeria, hence, students on the receiving end suffer the consequences of the poor actions.
She added that strike actions have always been the last resort for ASUU, which she believes is the way forward.
Gashua students protest in support of ASUU
Additionally, some students at Federal University Gashua staged a demonstration to back the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), urging the Federal Government to promptly implement its commitments to the union.
The protest, which remained peaceful, reflected the students’ frustration over frequent disruptions to their education and highlighted the pressing need for lasting solutions in Nigeria’s public university system.
The peaceful demonstration drew attention to the broader concerns of students nationwide, denoting the impact of prolonged industrial actions on learning and academic progression. It was gathered that university authorities and local security officials monitored the protest to ensure it remained orderly.
ASUU two-week warning strike
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) began a two-week warning strike on Monday, October 13, 2025, after the Federal Government failed to meet several of its long-standing demands.
The dispute centers on issues such as unpaid Earned Academic Allowances, unfulfilled aspects of the 2009 ASUU-FGN Agreement, and improved welfare and funding for universities.
In response, the Federal Government, through the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, warned that it would enforce the “No Work, No Pay” policy, directing all vice-chancellors to conduct a roll call and withhold salaries of lecturers participating in the strike.
ASUU, however, rejected the directive, describing it as an act of intimidation and insisting it would not back down until the government fulfills its promises.
The strike has already halted academic activities across several universities, including the University of Ibadan, University of Abuja, and University of Jos, as both sides remain locked in a tense standoff.
