The Federal Government has commenced the implementation of key welfare components of the 2025 renegotiated agreement with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
Education Minister Tunji Alausa made this known in a statement yesterday. He said the payment of the 40 per cent increase in the Consolidated Academic Allowance (CAA) of ASUU members began last month.
“Some federal universities have already begun reflecting the approved increase in their salary payments,’’ Alausa revealed in the statement by the ministry’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Boriowo Folasade.
He added that ‘’to ensure uniform implementation nationwide, all federal universities are being formally notified to fully cascade the approved increment across their institutions and integrate it into their payroll structures so that all eligible academic staff members benefit accordingly.”
Alausa said the payment has been captured and circularised by the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC), and that its inclusion in the 2026 budget is a formal statutory process.
