The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at Kaduna State University (KASU) has given the institution and its stakeholders a two-week deadline to implement the 2025 Federal Government-ASUU Agreement. Over 200 lecturers have already departed, raising concerns about worsening conditions of service for academic staff. ASUU-KASU chairman Dr Abubakar Abdullahi highlighted the agreement's failure to take effect eight months after signing.
Abdullahi warned that failure to address issues within the two-week ultimatum could lead to a total and indefinite strike, as KASU academic staff remain among the lowest-paid in the country. The union also expressed concern over excessive workload, promotion arrears, death benefits, group life insurance, wage awards, and pension remittances.
Abdullahi demanded full implementation of the agreement, payment of salary arrears from January 2026, and improvements in remuneration and working conditions.
