 ASUU–ABSU SUSPENDS THREE-WEEK-OLD INDEFINITE STRIKE The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Abia State University Branch, wishes to inform the University community, all stakeholders and the general public that, following the resolution of Congress held today, Friday, 28th August, 2026, the Branch has suspended its three-week-old comprehensive industrial action with immediate effect. The decision of Congress followed a careful assessment of developments since the commencement of the strike and, particularly, the concrete steps taken towards addressing some of the major issues that necessitated the industrial action. Foremost among these is the full implementation of the 2025 FGN–ASUU salary structure, including the Consolidated Academic Tools Allowance (CATA), which has now been reflected in the August 2026 salaries of academic staff of Abia State University.

 PRESS STATEMENT


Re: False Publication on “Unauthorized Meeting” at Enitona Hotel, Aba


My attention has been drawn to a circulating report alleging that I convened or participated in an “unauthorized and suspicious meeting” with traders at Ariaria International Market, Aba, alongside Checkbest International Limited. The report further claimed that I made statements suggesting I am still the Commissioner for Trade and Commerce.


For the avoidance of doubt, the said publication is entirely false, misleading, and deliberately intended to misinform the public and malign my person.


Here are the facts:


1. The meeting in question was not convened by me, but by the Director-General, Public-Private Partnership (DG PPP), in line with the ongoing engagements on the Ariaria Market Remodeling Project as approved by His Excellency, the Governor of Abia State.


2. During the meeting, after the DG PPP's address, I was introduced as a member of the Standing Committee on the Market Remodeling Project, a committee duly constituted by the PPP DG, My presence at the meeting was therefore official.


3. At no time did I convene any meeting on Thursday or at any other time. The only meeting I attended was the one formally convened by the DG PPP, and which took place on Friday, 10th October, 2025.


At no point did I make any statement implying that I remain the Commissioner for Trade and Commerce, nor did I make any comment that could be construed as interference in the affairs of that Ministry.


It is, therefore, regrettable and unacceptable that some individuals have chosen to twist a simple official engagement into a false and politically motivated narrative.


I remain committed to serving the people of Abia State with integrity and dedication in my current capacity as Commissioner for Labour and Productivity, and will continue to support the visionary leadership of His Excellency, Dr. Alex Chioma Otti, OFR, in promoting transparency, order, and development across all sectors.


The general public is hereby advised to disregard the false publication in its entirety.


Signed:

Kingsley Chibueze Nwokocha

Commissioner for Labour and Productivity

Abia State
