ASUU Yusuf Maitama University Kano threatens strike over unaddressed demands from Kano State Government, despite previous assurances and agreements
Union demands immediate payment of outstanding Earned Academic Allowance and Adjustment Arrears, implementation of CONUASS II, and payment of provisional wage award
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Yusuf Maitama University Kano, has issued a strike threat due to unaddressed demands presented to the Kano State Government.
In a statement signed by the branch Chairman, Mansur Yusuf Said, and Secretary, Yusuf Ahmed, the union expressed dismay over the state government’s prolonged neglect of its demands despite previous assurances and agreements.
The statement highlighted several critical issues, including the immediate payment of N111,321,792.18 in outstanding Earned Academic Allowance (EAA) and Adjustment Arrears.
Additionally, the union called for implementing the newly approved Consolidated Universities Academic Salary Structure II (CONUASS II), effective January 1, 2023. Federal universities have already adopted this measure, but the state government has yet to implement it.
ASUU also raised concerns about the non-payment of a provisional wage award of N35,000 for six months, which the federal government approved.
The statement added, “While civil servants in the state received this allowance, university staff members are yet to receive any payment.”
