ASUU stands for Academic Staff Union of Universities. It is a Nigerian union of university academic staff, including professors, lecturers, and researchers, established in 1978.
The primary goal of ASUU is to improve the working conditions, welfare, and remuneration of its members, as well as to promote the quality of education and research in Nigerian universities.
ASUU has been involved in several strikes and negotiations with the government over the years to demand better working conditions, increased funding for universities, and the implementation of agreements reached with the government.
Previously, the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and the University of Ilorin, Unilorin, were the only federal universities that were not members of ASUU. However, as of 2019, the situation has changed and they have joined ASUU. This means that if there is a call for strike action, there will be no federal university that is exempted and all will be expected to participate.

Based on the list of private universities not under ASUU in Nigeria for the 2023/2024 academic year, it appears that there are many options available for students who may be seeking alternatives to public universities that may be affected by ASUU strikes. Private universities offer an alternative option for students who desire quality education, with many of them offering a range of courses and programs.
It is important to note that while private universities may offer some benefits, they may also come at a higher cost than public universities. It is therefore important for students and their families to carefully consider their options and make an informed decision based on their circumstances and priorities.
