UNIZIK lecturers begin indefinite strike over incomplete August salary

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka (UNIZIK), has begun an indefinite strike due to the non-payment of the full August 2026 salary to its members. In a joint press statement, ASUU leaders stated they followed the union's national resolution allowing branches to withhold services if salaries are not paid within three days of the following month. As of September 7, 2026, the university had not fully disbursed August salaries, prompting the strike. The union called on the university administration and President Bola Tinubu, who serves as the university's visitor, to resolve the issue promptly. When approached for comment, the university's director of information and public relations declined to respond.
