flag Nigeria’s universities face a strike over unpaid demands, worsening brain drain, and years of underfunding.

flag Nigeria’s public universities face a deepening crisis as the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) launches a two-week warning strike over unmet demands for better pay, funding, and implementation of a 2009 agreement. flag The strike follows over 300 professors leaving in nine months due to deteriorating conditions, sparking fears of an intellectual brain drain. flag While the government claims all demands have been met and urges lecturers back to classrooms, ASUU rejects this, accusing authorities of stalling and undermining negotiations. flag Experts warn that expanding universities without fixing existing infrastructure is unsustainable, highlighting systemic underfunding and recurring strikes that have cost over 57 months of academic time since 1999.
