ASUU Warns of University Shutdowns Over Soaring N300m Monthly Electricity Bills
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has raised alarm over the potential collapse of many Nigerian universities due to the rising cost of electricity.
ASUU President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, made this known on Thursday during a national conference in Abuja.
Osodeke revealed that several universities are now dealing with electricity bills ranging from N200 million to N300 million monthly, yet the federal government provides only N15 million per month for both electricity and other essential running costs.
He also expressed concern about the disparity in government spending, highlighting that while universities receive only N15 million for operational costs, individual Senators are paid N21 million each per month.
Osodeke questioned the government’s priorities, warning that without intervention, universities may be forced to shut down due to these financial challenges.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
