adsTension is mounting at the University of Jos (UNIJOS) following fresh threats by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASSU), over what it described as the federal government’s slow and inconsistent implementation of the 2025 FGN/ASUU agreement.
Speaking during a press conference at the union’s secretariat in the University of Jos on Monday, the branch leadership said frustration was growing among academics, warning that the fragile peace within the university system could soon collapse if urgent steps were not taken.
The union said its National Executive Council (NEC), which met at Modibbo Adama University on May 9 and 10, 2026, reviewed the implementation of the December 23, 2025 agreement reached with the Federal Government and expressed dissatisfaction with the level of compliance.
According to ASUU, the failure of government to fully implement the agreement could trigger another round of industrial action across public universities.
The union accused the federal government of failing to inaugurate the Implementation Monitoring Committee (IMC), which it said was designed to oversee execution of the agreement and prevent administrative bottlenecks.adsads
