Published by

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Taraba State University chapter, has officially suspended the indefinite strike action embarked on since February 18, 2026.

Dr Joshua Garba Mbave, the ASUU chairman of the university, told the Nigerian Tribune that the union and its non-academic counterpart had successfully reached an agreement with the state government before taking the decision.

Mbave also disclosed that both the academic and non-academic staff of the institution had earlier accepted the sum of N500 million offered by Governor Agbu Kefas to suspend the industrial dispute at the institution.

“Yes, strike is officially suspended. We have reached a healthy agreement with the state government this afternoon, and the indefinite strike action embarked on by the union since February 18 is suspended.
