Tuesday, August 11, 2026 - Nasarawa State University chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has declared a comprehensive and indefinite strike.
The announcement of the total strike was contained in a
statement by the Chairperson of ASUU, NSUK Branch, Zubairu Loko, after the
conclusion of the union’s meeting on Monday.
The union attributed the industrial action to what it
described as the continued non-implementation of the 2025 Federal
Government-ASUU agreement and other unresolved issues affecting academic staff
of the university.
It lamented that it had exhausted several avenues of
dialogue and engagement with relevant authorities without achieving
satisfactory implementation of the agreement or resolving the outstanding local
issues.
“The decision was taken at the Branch Congress
held today following the continued non-implementation of the 2025
FGN-ASUU Agreement and other unresolved local issues affecting academic staff
of the University.
“The Branch had exhausted several avenues of dialogue and
engagement with the relevant authorities without securing satisfactory
implementation of the agreements and resolution of the outstanding issues,” the
statement said.
The union stated that it had earlier sought and obtained
approval from the National Executive Council, NEC, of ASUU before proceeding
with the industrial action.
It also pointed out the rationale for the strike, stressing
that agreements freely reached by the parties must be respected, implemented
and honoured.
