ASUU warns of a strike over the 2025 agreement

The Kano Zone of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has warned of an impending industrial crisis in the country’s universities due to the failure of the Federal Government to fully implement the 2025 agreement signed with the union.
The ASUU Zonal Coordinator, Prof Abdulkadir Muhammad, gave this warning in a press conference held at Bayero University, Kano, Wednesday.

Muhammad said the government’s delay in forming an Implementation Monitoring Committee had resulted in uncoordinated implementation of the agreement.

He explained that key components of the agreement, including salary and benefit adjustments, remain largely unimplemented.

Others are the Consolidated Academic Staff Salary Structure, Consolidated Academic Tools and Allowances, and Earned Academic Allowances.

He revealed that several state governments failed to comply with the terms of the agreement.

Muhammad also expressed concern over unresolved welfare issues, including salary arrears, unpaid allowances, salary cuts due to the 2022 labor strike, and delays in pension payments to retired academics.

He urged President Bola Tinubu to intervene immediately.
