UniJos ASUU declares indefinite strike over unpaid salaries, allowances

The Academic Staff Union of Universities branch at the University of Jos has declared an indefinite strike over the non-payment of March 2026 salaries and the exclusion of the Earned Academic Allowance (EAA).

 

The branch chairperson, Jurbe Molwus, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday, directing members to immediately withdraw all academic services.

 

According to the directive, lecturers are to abstain from lectures, examinations, and statutory meetings with effect from April 8, 2026, in line with resolutions of the union’s National Executive Council and the branch congress.

 

The union said the decision followed prolonged patience by members despite delays in salary payments.

 

“After following due process, we hereby request all members to abstain from lectures, the conduct of exams, and statutory meetings, as our salary for the month of March 2026 is yet to be paid despite our patience,” the statement read.

 

ASUU attributed the delay to the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, noting that the university’s bursary department had completed its part of the payment process.

 

The development is expected to disrupt academic activities at the institution if the issues remain unresolved.
