The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Taraba State University chapter, has suspended its indefinite strike, bringing an end to weeks of disruption at the institution.
The industrial action, which began on February 18, 2026, was called off after the union reached an agreement with the Taraba State Government and non-academic staff unions. Confirming the development on Wednesday, the Chairman of ASUU in the university, Dr Joshua Garba Mbave, said the decision followed successful and productive negotiations among all parties involved.
According to him, both academic and non-academic staff accepted a N500 million offer made by Governor Agbu Kefas to address the issues that led to the strike, Mbave stated that the agreement paved the way for the suspension of the indefinite industrial action, allowing academic activities to resume.
He also commended the state government and other stakeholders for their roles in resolving the dispute and restoring stability to the institution, the union leader urged the government to adhere strictly to the terms of the agreement to prevent future disruptions to the academic calendar.
The suspension of the strike is expected to lead to the immediate resumption of lectures and normal academic activities at Taraba State University.
