FG signs, unveils renegotiated agreement with ASUU
THE federal government has finally signed a renegotiated agreement with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to address the incessant strikes in Nigeria’s public tertiary schools.
The agreement was unveiled at a ceremony held at the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) headquarters in Abuja.
The meeting was preceded over by Tunji Alausa, minister of education, and Suwaiba Sa’id Ahmad, minister of state for education.
Key highlights of the 2009 FGN–ASUU agreements include:
– 40% salary increase for academic staff
– Improved pension benefits: Professors to earn pension equivalent to their annual salary at retirement (age 70)
– Better university funding model with dedicated allocations for research, libraries, labs, equipment, and staff development
– Proposed National Research Council (NRC) to fund research with at least 1% of Nigeria’s GDP
– Stronger university autonomy & academic freedom
– Elected academic leadership (Deans/Provosts), with only professors eligible
– Agreement takes effect from January 1, 2026, and will be reviewed after 3 years
– No victimization of anyone involved in the struggle during the course of drafting the new agreement.
