The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Kaduna State University (KASU) chapter, has suspended its indefinite strike following the Kaduna State Government’s approval of the full implementation and domestication of the 2025 FGN-ASUU agreement for academic staff.
The decision was reached at the union’s congress on Thursday, September 17, 2026, according to a statement signed by the KASU ASUU chairman, Abubakar Abdullahi, and secretary, Silas Bakut.
The union unanimously resolved to suspend the industrial action effective from 12:01 a.m. on Friday, September 18.
The development followed Governor Uba Sani’s approval of the implementation and domestication of the 2025 FGN-ASUU agreement for academic staff of the university, beginning with the October 2026 salary.
The university governing council and management have also approved the payment of nine months of accrued arrears covering January to September.
ASUU commended the Kaduna State Government, the government negotiation team and the university management for resolving the dispute through constructive engagement.
The union also expressed appreciation for the resolution of the matter without intimidation or threats.
With the suspension taking effect on Friday, academic activities at Kaduna State University are expected to resume.
