Nnamdi Azikiwe University branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU-NAU, has begun an indefinite strike over alleged incomplete August salary, saying it has activated ‘no pay, no work’ action in the institution.
At its congress on Monday in Awka, the ASUU -NAU , resolved to withdraw its services in compliance with the standing resolution of ASUU National Executive Council on non-payment of salaries.
According to the ASUU-NEC standing resolution, all branches of the union are empowered to withdraw their services when salaries are not paid after the 3rd day of the new month.
The branch chairman, Innocent Nnubia and secretary, Osita Nnajiofor, in a statement said: “Today is 7th September 2026 and the University has not paid complete salary for the month of August to our members.
“This makes it more than three times that our members are having this ugly and frustrating experience. The sole reason for this action is the non-payment of the complete salary of August 2026.
“We therefore implore university authorities, and Visitor (President Bola Ahmed Tinubu), to urgently address the situation by ensuring the complete payment of August 2026 salary to our members and ensure that this ugly experience does not repeat itself.”
The Congress subsequently directed that: * all members should immediately withdraw all academic and administrative services; and the withdrawal of services shall subsist until the complete payment of August 2026 salary to all members.
