Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, has greenlit the 2025 federal government and Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) salary agreement for academic staff at Kaduna State University (KASU). This move is set to take effect from October 2026. The decision was made following a report from a nine-member negotiation committee established by the governor.
The committee was tasked with examining the union's demands and creating a fair, sustainable framework for its implementation. The agreement covers revised CONUASS (Consolidated Academic Tools Allowance), salary adjustments, and additional allowances. Before the strike, KASU lecturers had been on a two-week warning strike, leading the state government to form the negotiation committee.
However, as talks progressed, the lecturers went on an indefinite strike on Wednesday. In response, Sani approved a one-off payment of N300 million Earned Academic Allowance (EAA) to settle over N800 million in accumulated entitlements and allowances since 2016. Governor Sani emphasized that this action aligns with his dedication to enhancing education and human capital development in Kaduna State.
He highlighted that at least 25% of the state's annual budget has been allocated to education since his administration took over. Sani urged ASUU and other unions to embrace dialogue as the preferred method for resolving disputes, urging KASU to strive for global university standards and improve its overall performance.
