The Academic Staff Union of Universities, Plateau State University, Bokkos chapter, has declared a total and indefinite strike over the university management’s alleged failure to address its six-point..

The union, popularly known as ASUU-PLASU, announced the industrial action on Wednesday following a Congress meeting held after the expiration of a 14-day ultimatum issued to the university administration on August 11.

In a statement signed by the chapter’s Chairperson, Vincent D. Choji, and Secretary, Lomka Kopdiya, the union said none of its demands had been satisfactorily resolved despite the expiration of the ultimatum.

Among the demands are the immediate commencement of the Contributory Pension Scheme, full implementation of the 2025 Federal Government/ASUU agreement and payment of outstanding arrears dating back to January 1, 2026.

The union also demanded the provision of safe and secure staff quarters, construction of trenches around the university’s perimeter fence and an end to what it described as intimidation of its leaders.

ASUU-PLASU further demanded the payment of 22 months’ arrears arising from the 25/35 per cent wage award.

The union said the unresolved issues had left its members with no option but to embark on industrial action.

“Congress is convinced that the substance of our demands on all six items has not been satisfactorily addressed,” the statement said.

According to the union, the decision followed approval from the National Executive Council of ASUU, after which the chapter’s Congress resolved to commence the strike.

The union subsequently directed all its members to suspend academic activities indefinitely until further notice.

The development is expected to disrupt academic activities at Plateau State University, Bokkos, as the union presses the university administration to address its outstanding demands.
