Arizona State University has dismissed the federal government’s claim of £50 billion for university revitalization as fake news. The union said no federal universities have received arrears of funds or wages and warned that the suspended strike could resume if its demands are not met by November 21, 2025.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has dismissed the federal government’s claims of £50 billion for university revitalization as fake news.
In a statement by Professor Jurbe Molwus, the alliance said that no funding has been provided to any federal university and its main demands have not been met ahead of the NEC meeting scheduled for November 8-9, 2025.
ASUU also refuted reports that £2.3 billion had been released over unpaid wages and promotions, insisting members had not received any payments.
Molews said the government’s claims were misleading and stressed the need for lecturers to take real action rather than media statements. The union warned that it could resume the suspended strike if its demands, including wage garnishments and unpaid wages, are not met by November 21, 2025.
Summary:
ASUU denies receiving £50 billion from the federal government, saying the claim is untrue. The union said no universities have received the alleged funds or any unpaid wages and warned it could resume strike action if its demands are not met by November 21.
