Introduction
The NLC ASUU Meeting 2025 was held on October 20 at the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) headquarters in Abuja. During the session, the NLC met with leaders of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP), Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU), and Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Polytechnics (SSANIP).
The meeting aimed to address persistent labor concerns in Nigeria’s tertiary education sector, particularly those related to funding, unpaid salaries, and working conditions.
NLC ASUU Meeting 2025 Overview
The closed-door meeting at NLC headquarters focused on unifying the demands of tertiary education unions and strengthening their negotiation stance. The NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, presided over the meeting alongside other Central Working Committee members.
Participants
- NLC: Comrade Joe Ajaero and members of the Central Working Committee
- ASUU: National President, Professor Chris Piwuna, and national executives
- SSANU: National leadership representatives
- ASUP: National executives
- COEASU: Branch leaders
- SSANIP: National representatives
Agenda
The unions discussed several key issues, including:
- Harmonizing demands across all tertiary education unions
- Ensuring payment of outstanding salaries, earned allowances, and cooperative deductions
- Negotiating improved funding and better working conditions with the Federal Government
In addition, they strategized on how to collectively engage the government more effectively to achieve tangible progress in labor relations.
Outcomes of the NLC ASUU Meeting 2025
After deliberations, NLC President Joe Ajaero announced several critical resolutions.
- Four-Week Ultimatum:
The NLC gave the Federal Government until November 17, 2025, to resolve all pending negotiations. If unresolved, the NLC’s National Executive Council (NEC) will meet to consider further actions, which may include a nationwide strike. - Rejection of “No Work, No Pay” Policy:
The unions collectively opposed the Federal Government’s “no work, no pay” stance, demanding the release of withheld salaries and earned allowances. - Unified Demands:
The NLC and tertiary education unions emphasized sustained investment in tertiary institutions, prompt payment of arrears, and stronger protection for academic workers’ rights. - Commitment to Solidarity:
Furthermore, the NLC reaffirmed its commitment to stand with all affiliates until fair labor treatment and sustainable education funding are achieved.
Conclusion
The NLC ASUU Meeting 2025 marked a significant step toward uniting Nigeria’s tertiary education unions under a shared labor agenda. While the four-week ultimatum places pressure on the Federal Government, the outcome of ongoing negotiations will determine whether the unions escalate their actions or reach a peaceful resolution. Continued dialogue remains essential to restoring stability and trust in the education sector.
