The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has announced that it has directed all its branches nationwide to suspend their services due to the delay in the payment of June 2025 salaries.
The union cited the implementation of its “No Pay, No Work” resolution as the reason for this action.
ASUU branches at two federal universities- the University of Jos and the University of Abuja have already begun strike in line with the directive.
ASUU President, Chris Piwuna, confirmed the development to newsmen on Monday in Abuja, explaining that the institutions awere merely implementing a resolution by the union’s National Executive Council (NEC), which mandates that if salaries were delayed by more than three days in any month, members should suspend their services until the payments were made.
Piwuna criticized the indifferent attitude of government officials toward the matter of lecturers’ salaries, which he described as meager.
