According to Daily Trust, the strike, which takes effect Wednesday, April 8, 2026, was declared by the branch chairperson, Prof. Jurbe Joseph Molwus, who instructed all members to withdraw from lectures, examinations, and statutory meetings until the grievances are addressed.
“Dear comrades, after following due process, we hereby request all members to abstain from lectures, conduct of examinations, and statutory meetings as our salary for the month of March 2026 is yet to be paid despite our patience,” Molwus said.
“This is in line with extant NEC resolution and our standing congress resolution. The action takes immediate effect from Wednesday, April 8, 2026, until we are paid.”
Molwus explained that the delay is linked to the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, noting that the university bursary had completed its part in the salary process.
“From our consultation, the delay is occasioned by the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, as the bursary of the university has done its part in the process of salary payment,” he added.
The union warned that the patience of its members was being taken for granted, cautioning that the delay could undermine industrial harmony if not resolved promptly. A strike monitoring team has also been activated to ensure full compliance with the directive.
