The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Jos (UniJos) branch, has declared an indefinite strike over delays in the payment of its March 2026 salary and the non-inclusion of Earned Academic Allowance (EAA).
The total withdrawal of services was announced on Wednesday by the branch chairperson, Prof. Jurbe Joseph Molwus, with effect from April 8, 2026.
“Dear comrades, after following due process, we hereby request all members to abstain from lectures, conduct of examinations and statutory meetings as our salary for the month of March 2026 is yet to be paid despite our patience.
“This is in line with extant NEC resolution and our standing congress resolution. The action takes immediate effect from Wednesday, April 8, 2026, until we are paid,” Molwus said.
He explained that the delay was linked to the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, noting that the university’s bursary had completed its part in the salary payment process.
“From our consultation, the delay is occasioned by the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, as the bursary of the university has done its part in the process of salary payment,” he added.
The union said its patience was being taken for granted by those responsible for the delay, warning that the situation could undermine industrial harmony.
It also urged members to fully comply with the directive, adding that a strike monitoring team had been activated to ensure adherence.
