Jigawa University Union Declares Two-Week Strike Ultimatum — The Abuja Times Newsroom

In a significant development, the union representing staff at Jigawa University has announced a two-week ultimatum for a potential strike, expressing deep frustration over unresolved salary issues. The announcement comes after members have endured approximately seven months of lower pay, despite the approval of a new salary package.

The union's leadership has emphasized that the patience demonstrated by its members has reached a critical point. They argue that the failure to implement the approved salary increases undermines both morale and productivity within the institution.

This ultimatum serves as a clear signal to university administration and stakeholders about the urgency of addressing the financial grievances of the staff. Union representatives are calling for immediate negotiations to avoid disruption to academic activities.

As the deadline approaches, the university community and students are urged to stay informed about the developments. The union remains committed to a peaceful resolution but is prepared to take decisive action if their demands are not met.
