The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is a Nigerian union of university academic staff, founded in 1978.

It is a branch of the Nigerian Association of University Teachers (NAUT) which was set up in 1965.

Presently, Professor Osodeke, a professor of Soil Science, at the Federal University of Agriculture, Umudike, Abia State, was elected on May 30 2021 as the President of ASUU.

The union has been known to hold several strikes as a result of the failure of the government to uphold the agreement signed.

The strikes are a move by the union to force the government into a response. However, this has only yielded negative results.
