The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the Federal Government have finalised discussions on the renegotiation of the 2009 agreement. Reports have said that the new deal will become effective next January, and Nigerians have been reacting.

The Chairman of the University of Lagos, UNILAG Branch of ASUU, Prof. Idou Keinde, recently confirmed the development in a telephone chat with VanguardNG.

His words, “Yes, I can say that an agreement has been reached but I don’t have the details yet.”

A press statement shared by ASUU on its official Facebook page revealed that the agreement is scheduled to take effect from January 1, 2026, and will be reviewed every three years.

It read, “After years of delays, negotiations, and struggles, ASUU has officially reached a new agreement with the Federal Government on December 23, 2025, concluding the renegotiation of the 2009 FGN–ASUU Agreement.”

WOW.
