The ASUU UNIJOS strike June salary protest began Friday after the institution’s lecturers were not paid for June 2025.
Professor Jurbe Molwus, the ASUU Chairman at the University of Jos, issued the directive to members Thursday night via message.
The message emphasized that members should stop attending lectures or meetings if salaries remained unpaid by July 3 deadline.
The message read that failure to pay by 11:59 pm on July 3 would trigger immediate and indefinite strike action.
Molwus referenced a National Executive Council resolution mandating action when salaries are delayed beyond the third monthly day.
A June 4 congress resolution had reaffirmed the NEC directive and instructed branches to ensure local implementation immediately.
Lecturers were directed to comply strictly with the directive until further communication from the union leadership authorizes resumption.
ASUU UNIJOS strike June salary protest demonstrates the growing frustration among academic staff over recurrent salary payment delays.
Molwus also confirmed that the branch strike monitoring team will oversee compliance and maintain discipline among all union members.
The university community has expressed concern that the industrial action could disrupt the academic calendar and affect student progress.
Parents, students, and education advocates continue calling on the Federal Government to resolve salary issues affecting Nigerian university lecturers.
This marks another chapter in the long-standing salary and welfare disputes between ASUU and the Nigerian government authorities.
The ASUU UNIJOS strike June salary standoff signals possible nationwide actions if other branches adopt similar measures in solidarity.
Academic observers say failure to address the UNIJOS salary issue promptly could escalate tensions across Nigeria’s public university system.
