Academic and non-academic staff in seven Plateau State-owned tertiary institutions have commenced a three-day warning strike over unresolved salary issues.
Chairman of the Joint Union, Cirfat Yaknan, said the action followed the government’s failure to implement agreed salary adjustments.
“If nothing is done… we will proceed on an indefinite strike,” he warned.
The union rejected a ₦100 million monthly offer, insisting on full implementation of salary structures.
Yaknan said the dispute had lingered since 2023 despite multiple negotiations.
