The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Plateau State University, Bokkos chapter, has declared an indefinite strike over what it described as the university management’s failure to resolve six outstanding demands.
The union announced the industrial action on Wednesday after its congress meeting, following the expiration of a 14-day ultimatum issued to the university administration on 11 August.
In a statement signed by the chapter’s chairman, Vincent Choji, and secretary, Lomka Kopdiya, and made available to reporters on Wednesday, the union said the demands remained unresolved despite the ultimatum’s expiration.
The lecturers are demanding the commencement of the Contributory Pension Scheme, the full implementation of the 2025 Federal Government-ASUU agreement, and the payment of outstanding arrears from 1 January 2026.
Other demands include the provision of safe and secure staff quarters, construction of trenches around the university’s perimeter fence and an end to what the union described as intimidation of union leaders.
