ASUU Threatens Strike Over Unpaid Allowances in Kebbi, Katsina, and Zamfara

The single sharpest fact in one or two punchy sentences. Who did what, where, when, and why it matters.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has threatened to embark on an indefinite strike in Kebbi, Katsina, and Zamfara if the state governments fail to implement the 2025 Federal Government/ASUU Agreement.

The Zonal Coordinator of ASUU, Professor Abubakar Sabo, made the call on Wednesday in Sokoto, saying that the union would embark on an indefinite strike in the five state-owned universities in the states if its demands were not met.

The affected states are Kebbi, which has not paid Academic Allowances (EAA) to staff of Abdullahi Fodiyo University of Science and Technology, Aliero, since 2014, and Katsina and Zamfara, which have also failed to implement the agreement.

According to Professor Sabo, the union has given the state governments a deadline to implement the agreement, but they have failed to do so.

Professor Sabo said that the union is not happy with the state of affairs in the universities, and that the strike would be a last resort.

He called on the governments of the three affected states to urgently do the needful by implementing the agreement to avert the unpalatable consequences of an eventual strike.
