MAKURDI, BENUE STATE— The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Daddy Adasu University, Makurdi (FAUM) branch, has issued a formal caution of a prospective commercial action following unsettled welfare disagreements with the institution’s management. In a communique launched on Saturday, March 14, 2026, the union revealed deep frustration over unsettled financial entitlements and administrative irregularities that have remained for many years.
The branch secretary, Daniel Chile, kept in mind that while the union has attempted to engage the university administration diplomatically, the absence of concrete commitments has actually pushed the scholastic personnel to a breaking point.
The union’s needs centre on substantial monetary stockpiles and the management of personnel benefits. A major point of contention is the 22-month financial obligations connected to the nationwide base pay and the 25/35% wage award.
According to the communique, the ASUU congress initially satisfied on January 20, 2026, to mandate the executive committee to engage the management. However, subsequent meetings with the Vice-Chancellor’s administration stopped working to produce a clear timeline for resolution.

The union revealed that it has resubmitted the 2025 ASUU– Federal Government arrangement to the university management, firmly insisting that the local administration should align with the national standards of staff welfare.
The branch cautioned that it is currently seeking advice from its zonal management. If the “significant development” remains evasive, the matter will be intensified to the next meeting of the National Executive Council (NEC), which has the authority to state a major strike action.
The union stressed that while it chooses dialogue, it is prepared to activate all “systems available under the union’s traditions” to safeguard the interests of its members.
