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.
