The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has claimed that the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) are actively undermining Nigeria’s public education.

The accusation was made as the union expressed frustration over the prolonged delay in renegotiating its 2009 agreement with the federal government. Despite multiple Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) and Memoranda of Action (MoAs), ASUU President Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke lamented that the agreement remains unsigned.
Speaking during ASUU’s Heroes Day 2024-2025 ceremony in Abuja, Prof. Osodeke highlighted additional grievances, including the enforced Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) and the withholding of ASUU members’ salaries for three and a half months.
ASUU also announced the distribution of Ph.D. grants worth N500,000 each to selected members following rigorous proposal evaluations. Prof. Osodeke commended members for their resilience in defending Nigeria’s public university system and expressed solidarity with ASUU members facing hardships in Kogi State University, Lagos State University, Ebonyi State University, and Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University.
The Heroes Day event honors past and current members for their sacrifices to improve public education. Prof. Osodeke cited the late Prof. Festus Iyayi, a former ASUU president, and others who have contributed significantly to ASUU’s mission.
