Welcome Message

A message from the President

On behalf of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, I warmly welcome you to our official public information platform. ASUU remains committed to the defence of academic freedom, professional dignity of university teachers, and the sustained development of a university system that serves the Nigerian people with excellence, integrity and purpose.

Our work is guided by the conviction that strong universities are essential to national progress. We will continue to engage constructively, speak responsibly, and stand firmly for policies that protect scholarship, improve conditions of service, strengthen institutional autonomy and expand access to quality public education.

As a union representing the pool of the best brains in the country, ASUU is the nation’s conscience, and as such, we would continue to hold government accountable to the people while intellectually guarding the country against all agents of imperialism and tendencies injurious to the interest of the Nigerian people.

Prof. Christopher Piwuna

President, ASUU
