Strike looms at Yobe varsity over salary disputes

Non‑teaching staff unions at Yobe State University have warned that they will go on strike if the university management fails to implement an agreed salary adjustment, the Nigerian news outlet Punch reported.

The unions say that the university has not honoured a previously negotiated salary increase for non‑teaching personnel. They have therefore called for a warning strike to pressure the administration into fulfilling its commitments.

Yobe State University, located in the northeastern part of Nigeria, has faced criticism from staff over delayed and incomplete salary payments. The unions argue that the failure to implement the agreed adjustment undermines staff morale and the university’s operational stability.

Should the warning strike proceed, it could disrupt academic and administrative activities at the university, affecting students and other staff members. The unions have urged the management to resolve the dispute before the strike date, which has not yet been specified.

Further details on the negotiations and the university’s response remain unreported at this time.
