The KASU chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) announced the suspension of its strike effective 12:01 am on September 18, 2026, after a congress meeting on September 17, 2026. The decision came after members unanimously accepted the approvals from the Kaduna State Government, KASU Governing Council, and university management.

A communiqué signed by KASU-ASUU Chairman Comrade Abubakar Abdullahi and Secretary Comrade Silas Amos Bakut stated that the implementation of the agreement would commence in October 2026, which includes the payment of nine months’ accrued arrears from January to September. The union acknowledged the significant steps taken towards restoring stability at the university and commended Governor Uba Sani for his support.

ASUU-KASU also expressed gratitude to the university management for their cooperation during negotiations and apologized to students and stakeholders for the disruption caused by the strike.
