In a letter dated September 11, 2025, and addressed to the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Olubunmi Shittu, the union said the decision followed a national directive from ASUU.
The letter, signed by FUOYE ASUU Chairman O. A. Fagbuagun and Financial Secretary Ngwu Benitho, stated that the strike would continue until all outstanding salaries were paid.
“This is to notify the university administration that the National Executive Council of ASUU has directed that in any case where academic staff salary is not paid latest by the third day of every month, the affected branch should proceed on strike until the salary is paid.
“As a consequence of the above, we are informing the administration that ASUU-FUOYE Branch has proceeded on strike until our salary is paid. This strike is total, indefinite, and comprehensive,” the letter read.
ASUU has consistently maintained its “No Pay, No Work” policy, insisting that salaries must be paid by the third day of each month or risk industrial action.
The University of Jos, for example, shut down operations when June 2025 salaries were not paid by July 3. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, has also withdrawn services over repeated salary delays, with lecturers often being paid well into the following month.
Minister of Education, Olatunji Alausa, has, however, assured that the Federal Government is committed to ensuring that Nigerian students remain in school, downplaying fears of a nationwide shutdown by ASUU.
