The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Sokoto Zone, has urged Kebbi, Katsina and Zamfara state governments to implement the 2025 Federal Government/ASUU Agreement to avoid industrial action.
The Zonal Coordinator, Prof. Abubakar Sabo, made the call on Wednesday in Sokoto, saying that the union would embark on an indefinite strike in the five state-owned universities in the states if its demands were not met.
He said Kebbi is the worst state that failed to earn Academic Allowances (EAA) from 2014 to date for academic staff of Abdullahi Fodiyo University of Science and Technology, Aliero (AFUSTA), which remained unpaid.
Other institutions were Umaru Musa Yar’Adua University Katsina (UMYUK) and Zamfara State University, Talata Mafara (ZAMSUT).
It may interest you to know that despite the public presentation of the agreement in January 2026 and notifying our various state governments and university management, the matter did not yield any positive response.
