ASUU Warns of Strike Amid Pay Dispute | Nigeria News

ASUU at Sule Lamido University has slapped Jigawa State with a two-week ultimatum, demanding full implementation of the 2025 federal agreement and payment of all back pay—or face a strike starting September 15, 2026. This isn’t isolated: nationwide ASUU chapters are rallying for the same terms, fueled by unpaid allowances, stalled promotions, and systemic neglect. The union’s congress specifically called for overdue increments, promotion arrears, and release of the 2024–2025 Earned Academic Allowance—and demanded removal from the Integrated Payroll System. While the state commissioner admits they only recently received the federal agreement and need time to fund it, he insists talks are open to avoid disruption. With mid-September looming, this standoff could reshape Nigeria’s higher education landscape. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
