Academic activities at Taraba State University (TSU) in Jalingo are disrupted after the Taraba State University chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) declares a total, indefinite strike that begins on Monday, October 12, 2026. The union says it is reacting to the Taraba State Government’s alleged failure to implement agreed remuneration issues and to pay staff salary arrears.
All three outlets link the action to a breakdown in implementing agreements between ASUU and the Taraba State Government. Premium Times reports the strike follows months of negotiations and a government-backed verification exercise, with the dispute centering on whether the parties’ agreements are being carried out. Vanguard similarly frames the strike around alleged non-implementation of a remuneration framework, while Daily Post highlights both demands for remuneration and arrears payment.
