The Academic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU) has notified the suspension of services in more branches as a result of the salary payment delay.
Recall that in a previous interview with news correspondents, ASUU national president Prof. Chris Piwuna stated that if there was any kind of delay in the payment of June 2025 wages, the union would apply the no-pay-no-work policy to the Federal Government.
From reports gathered, various tertiary institutions have yet to pay their academic staff.

Jurbe Molwus, the chairman of the ASUU chapter at the University of Jos, said that union members would no longer be employed by the university due to the postponement of their June 2025 salary payments.
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 position, according to Molwus. According to him, union members have skipped statutory meetings and lectures.
Additionally, the chairman declared that academics would cease to serve if their salaries were not paid by the third day of the month.
In order to guarantee compliance, he added, the branch’s strike monitoring team had been activated.
In response to a directive sent by the ASUU ATBU branch, ASUU members remained off-campus at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University in Bauchi State.
According to Dr. Angulu Haruna, the institution’s ASUU head, the Federal Government purposefully delayed paying their salaries.
“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.
Speaking off the record, an Ahmadu Bello University lecturer stated that the majority of lecturers made the decision to abstain from work until the June 2025 salary payments were made, in accordance with the National Executive Council’s order.
