Jigawa ASUU Postpones Strike to End of October 2026

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Sule Lamido University, Kafin Hausa Branch, has postponed its planned warning strike originally set for September 15, 2026, to the end of October 2026. This decision follows renewed discussions with the Jigawa State Government, which requested additional time to resolve outstanding issues, particularly the implementation of the 2025 ASUU-FGN Agreement and the payment of arrears owed to union members.

The ASUU-SLUK Congress, led by Chairman Comrade Idris Chiromawa and Secretary Comrade Salisu Yunusa, met on September 14, 2026, to deliberate on the government's engagement. The Congress agreed to give the government until the end of October 2026 to fulfill its commitments, warning that failure to do so would result in a total and indefinite strike starting November 3, 2026.

The union acknowledged the government's efforts to address the issues, including restructuring the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Management System (IPPMS) to accommodate the university's needs.
