The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Kano Zone, has condemned what it described as the partial implementation and outright refusal by some public universities to implement the salary component of the 2025 agreement reached between the Federal Government and ASUU.

The Zonal Coordinator of ASUU Kano Zone, Abdullahi Muhammad, made the remarks while addressing a press conference at the old campus of Bayero University Kano on Wednesday.

“ASUU Kano Zone strongly condemns the partial or outright refusal to implement the salary component of the 2025 FGN-ASUU agreement by several Vice Chancellors of public universities,” he said.

Muhammad stated that the excitement generated by the signing of the agreement on January 14, 2026, was gradually fading due to delays and poor implementation.

“Our concern arises from the government’s inability to constitute the implementation monitoring committee, which was expected to protect the agreement from bureaucratic delays and inertia and ensure its effective implementation,” he said.

According to him, the agreement has been implemented in a fragmented and poorly coordinated manner by federal authorities, while only a few state governments have adopted the terms.

He alleged that some university administrators selectively implemented parts of the agreement.

“Administrators of federal universities have selectively implemented aspects of the Consolidated Academic Tool Allowances, Earned Academic Allowances, and Professorial Allowances, even though all these components were meant to be integrated into the Consolidated Academic Staff Salary Scale as part of the monthly remuneration package for academics,” Muhammad stated.

The union also expressed concern over delays in implementing another aspect of the agreement involving the proposed National Research Council.

ASUU called on both the Federal and State Governments to fully respect and implement the agreement to maintain industrial peace within public universities.

“ASUU remains committed to ensuring that all its members fully benefit from the modest achievements secured through the eight-year negotiation process spanning 2017 to 2025,” he said.

Muhammad warned that the patience of union members was running out and cautioned that continued neglect of the agreement could trigger industrial unrest in universities.

“The patience and understanding shown by our members over time have been stretched to the limit, and they are prepared to take appropriate action should the government continue to neglect its obligations,” he added.
