Asuu begins the national level for non -payment of salaries

The union of the universities of academic staff (Asuu) began a national strike for the non -payment of the salaries of June 2025.

The strike followed a resolution from the National Executive Council (NEC) of Asuu.

The resolution applies a policy “No remuneration, no job”.

According to the resolution, “if the teachers’ salaries are delayed more than three days in a new month, the industrial action becomes inevitable”.

The Asuu branches at the University of Jos and the University of Abuja have already reduced the tools in accordance with the directive, while others should follow the example in the next few days.

The president of Asuu, Prof. Chris Piwuna, who confirmed the development on Monday 7 July, described the move as an answer to the recurring financial conferences that the teachers face due to persistent delays in wage payments.

Piwuna attributed the worsening situation to the transition of the federal government of university wages from the integrated staff of the staff and the information system (IPPI) to the Integrated Financial Management Information System (Gifmis) government.

Piwuna condemned what called the “casual attitude” of the main government officials towards the well -being of university teachers.

The President of the Asuu added that, despite the efforts to involve the Minister of Education and the General Administration Office, the union saw “no significant progress”.

“Our members are experiencing difficulty. The wages are often delayed by one week or more. At NEC, we have agreed that if the salaries are not paid within three days since a new month, members should withdraw their services,” he said.

Piwuna also rejected the requests for technical issues with Gifmis, stating that delays are the result of a deliberate negligence by the general accountant office.

“When the funds are released in the end, there are no complaints of underestimation or technical failure. The system works; they are the managers who are blocking. We believe this delay is intentional,” said Piwuna.
