The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Plateau State University (PLASU) Branch, has threatened to embark on a total, comprehensive and indefinite strike over the failure of the Plateau State Government to implement the 2025 Federal Government/ASUU Agreement.
The union issued the warning on Thursday at a press conference held in Jos, saying the continued delay in implementing the agreement, particularly the payment of salary adjustments and academic staff allowances, had pushed lecturers to the limit.
Speaking on behalf of the ASUU Bauchi Zone, Prof. Lawan Abubakar said the union’s National Executive Council (NEC), at its recent meeting, reviewed the implementation of the 2025 Agreement across federal and state universities and observed that Plateau State was among the few states yet to comply.
He listed the outstanding components of the agreement to include the Consolidated Academic and Research Allowance (CARA), Consolidated Academic Tools Allowance (CATA), Professorial Allowance and Earned Academic Allowance (EAA).
