The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Jos (UniJos) branch, has announced an indefinite strike following delays in the payment of its March 2026 salary and the exclusion of Earned Academic Allowance (EAA).
The complete withdrawal of services was declared on Wednesday by the branch chairperson, Prof. Jurbe Joseph Molwus, taking 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 stated that the delay was connected to the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, explaining that the university’s bursary had already fulfilled its role in the salary payment procedure.
“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 noted that its patience was being taken for granted by those responsible for the delay, cautioning that the development could threaten industrial peace.
It further directed members to strictly comply with the instruction, noting that a strike monitoring committee had been set up to ensure compliance.
