AWKA: The Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has suspended its strike over the payment of incomplete August 2026 salary.

n

The union members had withdrawn their services on September 7, 2026, vowing not to resume work until their full salaries were paid.

n

However, in a statement on Friday, the ASUU branch Chairman, Comrade Innocent Nnubia, and Secretary, Comrade Osita Nnajiofor, said the complete August 2026 salary had been paid to all members.

n

The union executives said the development prompted the immediate suspension of the industrial action with effect from Friday, September 11.

The statement directed all members to resume their academic and administrative duties, including teaching, lectures, supervision, marking, committee meetings and submission of results.

It said: “All members are therefore directed to resume all academic and administrative duties, including teaching, lectures, supervision, marking, committee meetings, submission of results, etc.

“We commend all comrades for your resoluteness, unity, and discipline during this period. Our solidarity and collective action yielded positive result.”

The union urged members to remain vigilant and continue to monitor developments, adding that further official updates would be communicated through its platforms.
