UNIJOS lecturers embark on strike over unpaid March salary

Lecturers at the University of Jos have embarked on an indefinite strike over the non-payment of their March 2026 salary. This was contained in a statement by the union.

The statement reads, "After following due process, we hereby request all members to abstain from lectures, conduct of exams and statutory meetings as our salary for the month of March 2026 is yet to be paid despite our patience.

This is in line with extant NEC resolution and our standing congress resolution.

The action takes immediate effect from Wednesday, 8th April 2026, until we are paid.

From our consultation, the delay is occassioned by the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation as the bursary of the University has done its part in the process of salary payment. It seems our patience is being taken for granted by those who are determined to frustrate industrial harmony.

Please ensure full compliance as the strike monitoring team of the branch will be activated to monitor compliance."
