ASUU declares two-week warning strike at Kebbi varsity
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Federal University of Agriculture Zuru (FUAZ) branch, has declared a two-week warning strike over the alleged failure of the university’s Governing Council to resolve outstanding issues linked to the 2025 Federal Government-ASUU agreement.
The union announced the decision in a statement signed on Tuesday by its branch chairperson, Comrade Danbauchi Ishaq Sanchi.
The strike followed the expiration of a 21-day ultimatum earlier issued by ASUU to the Governing Council to address the concerns raised by the union.
According to ASUU, the Council failed to provide any positive response or take concrete steps towards resolving the outstanding matters despite the expiration of the ultimatum.
The union said the warning strike was therefore necessary to press for action on the issues and ensure that the concerns arising from the 2025 Federal Government-ASUU agreement are addressed.
Consequently, the union said its emergency meeting on Tuesday resolved to commence the warning strike from midnight on August 18.
During the strike, all academic activities at the university will be suspended, including lectures, examinations, continuous assessments, supervision of students’ projects and theses, as well as Senate and Faculty Board meetings.
The union said the decision was not taken lightly but had become necessary to draw the attention of the Governing Council to the unresolved issues affecting academic staff welfare and the smooth running of academic programmes.
ASUU expressed regret over the inconvenience the action may cause students and other members of the university community.
It, however, said it remained open to dialogue during the strike, stressing that meaningful engagement and concrete action by the relevant authorities could resolve the dispute.
