The Yobe University’s branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has said it has not called off the strike it embarked upon on the 11th of July 2025.
The ASUU Chairman at Yobe University, Ahmed Karage, said this in Damaturu this Monday, insisting that although the consequential adjustment for the N70,000 minimum wage has been implemented, the union’s other demands have not been met by the state government.
Karage listed the demands yet to be addressed to include the implementation of academic staff promotions as approved by the university council and payment of promotion arrears from 2018 to 2025.
Others include the payment of arrears for minimum wage consequential adjustment from 2019 to 2024, 35-25 per cent salary award for Professors and other ranks from 2023 to 2025 and arrears of N70,000 minimum wage from January 2024 to June 2025.
The chairman called on the public to bear with the union, promising that the strike will be called off after a Memorandum of Understanding is signed between the union and the state government.
