Plateau University Lecturers Suspend Strike After Agreement
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Plateau State University chapter, has suspended its total and indefinite strike following an agreement with the Plateau State Government regarding the union's six-point charter of demands. This decision was made during an Emergency Congress Meeting held in Jos on September 12, 2026.
The agreement includes the commencement of a Contributory Pension Scheme, full implementation of the 2025 FGN/ASUU Agreement, and payment of arrears starting January 2026. Additional points covered in the agreement involve the provision of secure staff quarters, construction of trenches around the perimeter fence, and addressing the intimidation of union leaders.
The negotiation teams were led by Steven Pam Gadong for the government and Professor Aku Timothy Namo for ASUU. The suspension of the strike will take effect from midnight on September 16, 2026, allowing academic activities to resume at the university after the disruption caused by the strike, which began on August 26, 2026.
