ASUU's PLASU branch suspends strike after state government agrees to demands on pension, wage arrears, staff quarters, and leader protection.

  • On Wednesday, the Academic Staff Union of Universities suspended its indefinite strike at Plateau State University following successful negotiations with the Plateau State government in Jos.

  • Head of Service Steven Pam Gadong and union leader Professor Aku Timothy Namo finalized terms including arrears payment from January 2026, secure staff quarters, and perimeter security construction.
  • Branch chairperson Dr. Vincent D. Choji and secretary Dr. Lomka Iliya Kopdiya confirmed the agreement, directing ASUU members to resume all academic activities effective from midnight on Wednesday.
  • While PLASU resumes operations, public universities in Lagos and Ondo states remain grounded by ongoing ASUU strikes, reflecting broader challenges in implementing the 2025 agreement nationwide.
