The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU Sokoto Zone, has warned that failure by state governments to implement the 2025 FGN-ASUU Agreement and clear outstanding welfare debts will trigger industrial crisis in affected universities.
In a press conference on Wednesday, the Zonal Coordinator, Prof. Abubakar Sabo, told journalists that despite the public presentation of the 2025 agreement in January and repeated notifications to state governments and university managements, “bureaucratic delays, inconsistencies and lack of willingness to implement” have stalled progress.
“Our branches note with deep concern the non-implementation of the 2025 FGN-ASUU Agreement signed between the Federal Government and ASUU. Meanwhile, SAZU, EKSU, BOUESTI, UNIOSUN, BSU, OOU, SSU and SSUES have commenced implementation,” Prof. Sabo said.
