Save our future — Taraba varsity final-year students beg Kefas to avert strike

Final-year students at Taraba State University have written a plea to Governor Agbu Kefas in an open letter dated September 22, 2026, to prevent an indefinite strike. The students, scheduled to commence their final examinations on September 29, 2026, expressed concern over reports that the university's ASUU chapter may embark on a strike if their demands are not addressed.

They warned that such a strike could disrupt the academic calendar, delay graduations, increase educational expenses, and subject students to additional psychological and financial pressures. The students called on the governor to engage with ASUU leadership promptly to resolve the issues causing the threatened strike. They also urged the government to fulfill the union's legitimate demands and assure students and parents that the final exams would proceed as scheduled.

The students praised Kefas for his administration's commitment to education, particularly the free education initiative, and expressed hope that he would save their academic future.
