Dear Comrades.
Fraternal greetings from the National Strike Coordinating Committee (NSCC).
Recall that a 14-Day Ultimatum was was given to the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) for the conclusion and implementation of the renegotiation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement as well as addressing other demands of our union. The failure of government to satisfactorily attend to these demands caused the activation of the ongoing Warning Strike. The government, through the its agents, has returned to the negotiation table. Some notable Nigerians have also been involved in finding lasting solutions to the impasse.
The National Strike Coordinating Committee (NSCC) met on Saturday, 18th October, 2025 at the National Secretariat to review developments around the ongoing action, and concluded that:
1. Our members nationwide have been resolute in the implementation of the NEC’s resolution of 28th September, 2025 in respect of the warning strike.
2. Government’s Renegotiation Team, led by Alhaji Yayale Ahmed, has come to the negotiation table with documented response to our demands and made some offers to the Union.
3. Attention of relevant Senate Committees have been drawn to our demands, and they have met with our Union’s leadership and some decisions have been reached.
4. Progress is being recorded in certain areas such as the release of third-party deductions, arrears of promotions, mainstreaming of EAA, confiscation of UNIABUJA land, and victimization of our members in KSU, LASU and FUTO.
5. Engagements are continuing on all elements of the draft renegotiated 2009 FGN-ASUU Agreement guided by the principles of Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). 6. We commend the resilience and courage of our members in various branches, but we should remain united and steadfast in the few days ahead.
7. The Branch Chairperson remains the ONLY reliable source of information at all times; so attend your branch Congress meetings promptly.
