Plateau State University, Bokkos (PLASU), is currently experiencing a comprehensive and indefinite strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). The decision was communicated through a statement by the university chapter of ASUU, signed by Dr. Hassan Monday Zitta, the chairperson, and Comrade Deme Samson Bitrus, the secretary.
The strike follows the findings of the National Executive Council visitation team, which revealed the state government's failure to implement the second agreement signed in 2022. The ASUU National President approved the branch's request to resume its suspended strike, leading to a total strike declaration during a Congress.
The issues in contention include inadequate capital projects, the need for additional hostel accommodation, road network completion on campus, provision of staff quarters, and the completion of perimeter fencing at the university. Additionally, the union demands a functional training policy with budgetary allocation for scholars' training, among other concerns.
