The Academic Personnel Union of Universities, Gombe State University chapter, has actually issued a 14-day demand to the Gombe State Government to solve its exceptional grievances or deal with an indefinite strike.
The union revealed the choice in a statement released on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, after a congress conference at which members thought about a report from the union’s National Executive Council on its recent engagement with the branch.
According to the lecturers, the NEC examined the unsolved matters between the university’s academic personnel and the state federal government and authorised the branch to begin preparations for commercial action must the problems remain unsettled.
The declaration, signed by the branch Chairperson, Mustapha Muhammad, and Secretary, Aliyu Shelleng, said members accepted begin a total and indefinite strike when the 14-day duration expires without a satisfactory resolution.
The warning took effect on Tuesday, August 11, 2026.
The union stated the decision followed the discussion of the NEC’s report on its intervention in the matters raised by the branch, particularly those including the Gombe State Federal Government.
ASUU stated the proposed action was intended to oblige the relevant authorities to address the exceptional problems affecting its members.

The statement was entitled, “Consent by the ASUU National Executive Council to Begin an Overall, Extensive and Indefinite Strike Action.”
The union stated that the branch congress had actually fixed to start the commercial action at the end of the 14-day ultimatum if its needs were not adequately attended to.
It urged members of the university community to keep in mind of the development and understand that academic activities would just be interrupted if the federal government stopped working to fix the problems within the specified duration.
The union interested the Gombe State Federal government and other pertinent authorities to use the 14-day window to resolve the impressive complaints and prevent a fresh disruption of academic activities at the university.
ASUU further prompted stakeholders to deal with the ultimatum as a chance for meaningful engagement and resolution of the issues rather than enable the disagreement to intensify into a prolonged industrial action.
