Further Citing the postponement of their June 2025 salary payments, Jurbe Molwus, the chairman of the ASUU chapter
at the University of Jos, stated that union members would no longer be working at the university.
According to Molwus, this came after the National Executive Council passed a resolution
instructing branches to take action if salaries are not paid by the third day of a new month,
and the Congress confirmed the policy.

He also added that union members have not attended statutory meetings or lectures.
The chairman further stated that the academics will cease to serve if their salaries were not paid by the third day of the month regardless.
He also said the ASUU strike monitoring team of the branch had been activated to ensure compliance.
At the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University in Bauchi State, ASUU members stayed off-campus following a memo by the ASUU ATBU branch.
The chairman of ASUU in the institution, Dr Angulu Haruna stated that the delay by the Federal Government in paying their salaries was a deliberate act.
“Usually, our salaries always span into the first week of the next month.
While other government organisations are being paid, federal universities would be left out and would not receive payment.
“Whenever we ask, they’ll always tell us that it is because of the migration from the IPPIS,
and we see that there is preferential treatment against us in favour of other organisations,” he said.
