The Kano Zone of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has warned of a looming industrial crisis in the nation’s universities over Federal Government’s failure to fully implement the 2025 agreement signed with the union.
The Zonal Coordinator of ASUU, Prof. Abdulkadir Muhammad, issued the warning at a news conference held at Bayero University, Kano, on Wednesday.
Muhammad said the government’s delay in constituting the Implementation Monitoring Committee had led to uncoordinated execution of the agreement.
He explained that key components of the agreement, including salary adjustments and allowances remained largely unimplemented.

He urged President Bola Tinubu to intervene urgently.
