Education ministry begins implementation of FG-ASUU agreement

The Federal has commenced the implementation of key welfare components of the renegotiated agreement with Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

The Minister of Education, Olatunji Alausa, announced this, adding that the Federal government fulfilled its obligation to implement the 40 per cent increase in the Consolidated Academic Allowance (CAA) for ASUU members effective from January 2026.

He said the move is in line with the agreement reached with union, adding that some federal universities have started to reflect the approved in their salary systems.

“To ensure uniform implementation nationwide, all federal universities are being formally notified to cascade the approved incensement across their institutions and integrate it into their payroll structures so that all eligible academic staff benefit accordingly,” he said.

Alausa, in the directive issued to all federal university vice-chancellors, emphasised the need for strict compliance with the implementation of the CAA.
