GOMBE — The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Federal University Kashere, FUK, Branch has commenced an Active Non-Compliance, ANC, action over what it described as the unlawful reduction of members’ salaries by the Federal Government.

The union said the action followed a directive from its National Executive Council, NEC, after efforts to resolve the dispute through the university management failed to yield the desired result.

In a statement signed by the branch Chairperson, Dr Salihu Adam Jidda, and made available to journalists in Gombe on Friday night, ASUU-FUK said the decision was taken at an emergency branch congress held on August 13, 2026.

The union recalled that the 2025 Federal Government-ASUU agreement was implemented across universities in January 2026 following a Federal Government circular.
