More than 200 professors and other academic staff have reportedly resigned from Kaduna State University over poor working conditions and the failure to implement the 2025 Federal Government-ASUU Agreement, according to the Academic Staff Union of Universities, KASU chapter.

The union has consequently given the university management and other relevant stakeholders a two-week ultimatum to begin the full implementation and domestication of the agreement, warning that failure to act could result in a total and indefinite strike.

The ASUU-KASU Chairman, Abubakar Abdullahi, disclosed this on Monday during a press conference held at the union’s secretariat at Kaduna State University, Kaduna.

Abdullahi explained that the 2025 FGN-ASUU Agreement, which is designed to improve the working conditions of academic staff in Nigerian universities, became effective in January 2026, but its implementation had not commenced at KASU.

He said the union had sent several letters to the university management, Governing Council and the Visitor, as well as the Kaduna State Governor, calling for the agreement to be domesticated and implemented in line with the law establishing the institution.

He warned that further delays in implementing the agreement could result in the accumulation of salary arrears dating back to January 2026.

The union also blamed the continued departure of experienced academics, including professors and lecturers, on the university’s poor conditions of service, warning that replacing such personnel and restoring the institution’s academic strength could take several years.

Abdullahi stated that the two-week ultimatum was issued in line with established procedures for resolving industrial disputes, giving the university authorities an opportunity to take concrete measures toward fully implementing and domesticating the 2025 FGN-ASUU Agreement.
