The announcement has prompted intense reactions from the public, with many expressing frustration and concern over the recurring cycle of disputes between ASUU and the government.

"This constant back-and-forth between ASUU and the government is draining," remarked one Nigerian citizen. "It's like we're stuck in a never-ending loop of negotiations and broken promises."

"These are the people educating our leaders of tomorrow; they are never paid enough, and yet the government hesitates to increase their wages," one frustrated citizen remarked.

"It’s like they’re toothless," another lamented, highlighting a perceived lack of effectiveness in ASUU’s actions.

"Everywhere you turn, it’s ASUU," a weary citizen observed. "When will this cycle end? Everybody is tired already."

The ongoing standoff between ASUU and the FG has left many disillusioned and disheartened. "ASUU always gives FG a 2/2 weeks ultimatum, and nothing ever happens," one exasperated individual expressed. "May God deliver us from our oppressors," another prayed.

As the dialogue continues, the overarching question remains: when will education cease to be a bargaining chip in political negotiations? The youth, the future leaders of the nation, deserve better than to be caught in the crossfire of bureaucratic battles.

While some voices express cynicism, others call for a pragmatic approach, advising parents who can afford it to consider private universities. However, this solution only exacerbates existing inequalities, leaving many unable to access quality education.
