The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Jos (UNIJOS) branch, has announced today the withdrawal of academic activities due to the non-payment of the March 2026 salary.
In a statement signed by the Chairperson, Jurbe Joseph Molwus, entitled ‘Total Withdrawal Of Services Due To Delay in The Payment Of March 2026 Salary And Non Inclusion Of EAA In Our Salary,’ the union requested “all members to abstain from lectures, conduct of exams 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, 8th April 2026, until we are paid.”
The union blamed the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation for the delay, as its investigation had revealed that the university has done its part in the process of salary payment.
“Please ensure full compliance, as the strike monitoring team of the branch will be activated to monitor compliance,” the statement added.
The action, taken as the students are about to continue with their examination, which was suspended due to the March 29 killings in Angwan Rukuba, has put the students in great jeopardy.
The authorities had asked them to report back to school on April 7 and to continue their examination on April 13. It is now uncertain whether normal academic activities will resume or not.
