The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Sule Lamido University Kafin Hausa (SLUK) branch, has issued a two-week ultimatum to the Jigawa State Government to implement the new university salary structure or face a full-scale industrial action.
The threat was contained in a press release dated 1 September, and signed by the ASUU-SLUK chairperson, Idris Chiromawa.
According to the union, members had exercised patience while operating under lower pay for roughly seven months following the approved new salary package.
ASUU-SLUK noted that while several other state-owned universities across the country have since implemented the agreement, the Jigawa State Government has continuously delayed the process.
The union said despite sending three formal letters to the Commissioner for Higher Education, Yusif Chamo, the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Haruna Aliyu, and engaging respected community leaders, its appeals for dialogue have been met with silence.
