<p>The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Zamfara State University branch, has declared an indefinite strike over what it described as the failure of the university management and relevant authorities to address its longstanding demands concerning staff welfare, salaries, promotions and working conditions.</p><div class="ySDL0Qyj" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>The branch chairman, Comrade Anas Abubakar Dogo, announced the decision in a statement, explaining that the industrial action would commence at midnight on November 11, 2026.</p>
<p>Dogo said the decision followed the expiration of an initial two-week ultimatum issued to the university management, which was subsequently extended by another three weeks, bringing the total period of the ultimatum to five weeks.</p>
<p>According to him, the union had also embarked on a one-week warning strike in an effort to compel the authorities to address its grievances, but the failure to resolve the outstanding issues had left the branch with no option but to proceed with an indefinite strike.</p><div class="mF96eREr" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>The ASUU chairman listed several challenges confronting the university, including the absence of official student accommodation, inadequate staff housing, poor remuneration and the non-implementation of the Federal Government-ASUU agreement.</p>

<p>He lamented that students of the institution had no official university hostel, while members of staff were also without adequate accommodation, describing the situation as a major challenge to the effective administration and development of the university.</p>
<p>Dogo further accused the university authorities of failing to implement the Federal Government-ASUU agreement in its entirety, including the payment of outstanding arrears owed to academic staff.</p>
<p>The union also expressed dissatisfaction over the non-payment of promotion arrears, noting that the failure to implement staff promotions and their accompanying financial benefits had continued to undermine the morale of lecturers.</p>
<p>On staffing, the ASUU chairman raised concerns over the shortage of academic personnel, disclosing that some departments had only one tenured academic staff member, while others had none.</p>
<p>He warned that the situation was affecting the university&#8217;s academic capacity and could undermine the quality of teaching, research and other academic activities.</p>
<p>The union also described Zamfara State University as a training ground for academic staff, alleging that many lecturers were leaving the institution for other universities where better remuneration and improved working conditions were available.</p>
<p>Dogo disclosed that many academic staff members earned monthly salaries ranging from N96,000 to N120,000, a situation he said was inadequate and had contributed to the institution&#8217;s difficulty in retaining qualified lecturers.</p>
<p>He consequently demanded the full implementation of the Federal Government-ASUU agreement in all its provisions, including the settlement of all outstanding arrears.</p>
<p>The union also demanded the implementation of staff promotions and the payment of all accumulated promotion arrears.</p>
<p>The ASUU chairman stated that all academic activities on the university campus would remain suspended throughout the period of the industrial action.</p>
<p>He urged the relevant authorities to address the union&#8217;s demands to facilitate a resolution of the dispute and ensure the resumption of academic activities.</p>
