The Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has directed its members to boycott classes and avoid participating in official meetings.

The chairperson and secretary of ASUU-OAU, Anthony Odiwe and Tunde Amusan, in a circular released on Monday, October 13, 2025, and obtained by our correspondent, directed their members to join the two-week strike declared by the national body of the union immediately.

“The national leadership of the union has declared a two-week warning strike and all branches have been directed to withdraw their services with effect from 12:01am on Monday, 13th October, 2025.

“The strike is to press home our demands which include the conclusion of the renegotiation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement by the Yayale Ahmed Committee as well as other unresolved issues.

“Consequent upon this declaration, ASUU-OAU at its Congress held on Monday, 13th October, 2025, resolved to align itself with the directives of the National Leadership by participating actively in the total and comprehensive strike action.

“There should be no classes, no participation in any accreditation exercise, conference, official meetings or public lectures,” they added.
