The Academic Staff Union of Universities, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka chapter, on Monday commenced an indefinite strike over the non-payment of the full August 2026 salary to its members.

In a press statement jointly signed by the Chairperson of the ASUU UNIZIK chapter, Innocent Nnubia, and the Secretary, Osita Nnajiofor, and released to journalists on Monday, the association said it had resolved to withdraw its services in compliance with the standing “Resolution of ASUU National Executive Council” on non-payment of salaries.

It therefore urged the university authorities and Visitor, President Bola Tinubu, to urgently address the situation by ensuring the full payment of the August 2026 salary to its members and ensuring that the situation does not recur.

This makes it more than three times that members are having such frustrating experience.

 They therefore implore University Authorities, and President Bola Tinubu to urgently address the situation by ensuring the complete payment of salary to members and ensure that the experience does not repeat itself.

The Congress resolution directs  all members to immediately withdraw all academic and administrative services. The withdrawal of services shall subsist until the complete payment of  salary to all members.
