Academic Staff Union of Universities branch for Gombe State University don announce “active non-compliance” from 4 November because of October salary. Di signed resolution wey carry 3 November date say di action go continue until dem pay all academic staff. Students therefore no sure how academic activities go be, but di resolution no list di duties wey lecturers go stop to do.
Di branch congress say dem examine how dem dey implement di 2025 agreement between ASUU and Federal Government, plus di memorandum of understanding with university management. Dem reject di money wey dem pay as arrears under di new salary scale, saying e no reach wetin members suppose collect. Na di union assessment be dat; di document no show each worker payroll calculation.
Chairperson Mustapha Shehu Shehu and secretary Aliyu Umar Shelleng sign di resolution. E separate two payment matters: October salary and arrears wey come from di new salary scale. If dem settle one, dat alone no go show say dem don settle di other demand too. Di notice no state di total money wey remain unpaid.
Another resolution say dem go ask ASUU National Executive Council for permission to resume di strike wey dem suspend, until dem pay di correct arrears. To ask for permission no mean say di national body don grant am. Di material wey we check no establish say full strike don start, or say every lecture, exam or university service don stop.
Wetin e mean for you: students suppose confirm arrangements for their own courses with their departments before dem travel or assume say dem cancel any assessment wey dem schedule. Di union notice no contain replacement exam timetable or new resumption date. For families wey dey budget transport and accommodation money, wetin matter na to separate di union decision wey dem publish from confirmed change to one student schedule.
Di next useful updates go be university notice wey explain academic arrangements, confirmation about salary payment, and decision on di branch request to di national union. Di reports wey we check no include management response to di latest resolution. Until those details come out, we no fit responsibly present complete campus shutdown or settled dispute as confirmed fact.
