The Academic Staff Union of Universities announced a two-week warning strike on Monday, and lecturers at the University of Jos obeyed.
The Federal Government was issued a two-week ultimatum by the union’s national secretariat to comply with its requests, which include, among other things, greater funding, better working conditions, and the payment of earned allowances.
The majority of the teachers at the University of Jos remained off campus, leaving many students who had come for lectures stuck in their classrooms, according to our correspondent who visited the institution on Bauchi Road on Monday afternoon.
Prof. Jurbe Molwus, the chairman of the ASUU branch at UNIJOS, affirmed to the media in Jos that the academics were completely adhering to the warning strike.
Prof. Molwus declared, “We are fully adhering to the warning strike at UNIJOS.”
Despite the Federal Government’s threats of “no work, no pay,” we are not scared and will not back down. Until the government complies with our requests, we will not stop complying.

According to him, the academics are unified in their desire to see the country’s universities receive greater funding and better working circumstances.
Lecturers are avoiding campus as a result of the warning strike, which has halted academic activity at UNIJOS.
Dr. Monday Hassan, the chairman of the ASUU branch, verified that the situation was the same at Plateau State University in Bokkos.
“Unless the Federal Government complies with the union’s demands, it is anticipated to continue for the next two weeks.”
