FG, ASUU Set to Formalise New Education Agreement
The Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities are set to formalise a new agreement aimed at improving the quality and stability of Nigeria’s public university system.
The agreement follows extended negotiations between both parties and comes after a recent ultimatum by the union, which was withdrawn following intensive talks.
Government officials say the new framework reflects a renewed commitment to resolving industrial disputes through dialogue and cooperation rather than prolonged disruptions
According to the authorities, the agreement aligns with broader national development priorities that recognise education as a key driver of human capital growth and socio-economic transformation.
The formalisation ceremony is expected to bring together senior government officials, university administrators, union representatives, and development partners.
Observers note that recurring disputes between the government and the lecturers’ union have historically disrupted academic calendars, leading to delayed graduations and growing pressure on students and families. The new agreement is expected to promote industrial harmony and restore confidence in the university system.
